A pledge of service to the Lord
Sat idle many years.
‘Till God knocked on his heart once more
He wept such bitter tears.
“I’ll serve,” said he, just lead the way,
“My heart belongs to you;
The gifts you’ve giv’n, I’ll freely share.
Your will, I want to do.”
Preach my word, in song and text.
I’ll teach you day by day.
Trust in me, I’ll be your guide,
I’ll teach you what to say.
And so it is, this young man sings
His praises to the Lord.
He testifies of God’s great love,
And preaches evermore.
