what member am i
I know I am a member of the body of Christ,
there is no doubt;
But sometimes there is something
I pause and I wonder about!
What part is mine, what do I do?
Even if I'm the least, I'll be true!
I guess if the choice was up to me,
and I could be the one I choose;
It really wouldn't matter at all;
just wherever I could be used.
I could be part of His hand;
I could help lift the fallen souls;
I could be part of His feet;
I could even be part of His toes!
Maybe His ears that listen for the cry of His own;
Or perhaps just hardly-ever noticed finger bone!
His lips that bring forth His words of love;
Perhaps only a drop of His life’s blood.
But if today He asked me to name
the part I'd most prize;
I'd say, "Jesus, just let me be
the gleam in Your eyes!!"
