A Servant's Heart

by Gloria A. Walker © 2011

You called to me, I answered,

"Yes, Lord, Your will is mine.

I'll yield to You my life and love.

I'll leave it all behind.

To walk with You o'er mountains high,

To walk through valley's low,

To walk with You on sunny days,

To walk where cool winds blow.

To walk with You through trials

No matter what my part.

To do as You are willing,

This is Your servant's heart!

Use my hands to touch

And sooth a fevered brow.

Use my heart  to love someone

Whose heart is broken now.

Use my tongue to speak, Lord,

A word of quiet peace.

Use my eyes to cry the tears

Of quiet, sweet release."

You called to me, I answered.

Though many years have passed.

And still, Lord, I am willing

To walk well trodden paths.

Until that blessed and sacred day

You call me to depart

To walk with You through heaven's gate. 

This is Your servant's heart!
