Useless

Help me Lord to love someone
Whose love for me's gone flat
Give me the strength to carry someone
Who will probably break my back

Give me the desire to save someone
Though it seems they can't be saved
Help me imagine them as Lazarus
Stumbling out of his grave

Use me,
Though I fumble for excuses
Use me,
Even though I'm feeling
Useless

Move me to lend a helping hand
When I wanna keep to myself
And to call on a friend when I'm down and out
And my pride needs no one else
Help me pray when I'm out of words,
And it's the last thing I want to do
When I wish I could cry, but the well's run dry
And I feel far from you

Please use me,
Though I fumble for excuses
Use me,
Even though I'm feeling
Useless

Clue me in when I'm clueless
I wanna know your peace
When the world seems ruthless
I wanna hear your song, 'cos mine is tuneless
Use me, I'm useless

Though the past is the past, guilt's a hammer and nail
Pinning me in place
My failings throwing cold dark shadows across
Your mercy and your grace
So free me now, lift me up,
'cos a new day has begun
Come Easter light, let me be the touch
That heals someone

Please use me,
Though a part of me refuses
Use me,
Even though I'm feelin' useless
Use me,
Though I fumble for excuses
Use me,
Even though I'm feelin' useless
Use me,
Even though I'm feelin' useless
Use me
