Make Me a Blessing

1 Out in the highways and byways of life,  
Many are weary and sad.  
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,  
Making the sorrowing glad.  

Refrain:  
Make me a blessing; make me a blessing,  
Out of my life may Jesus shine.  
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,  
Make me a blessing to someone today.  

2 Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,  
Tell of His pow'r to forgive.  
Others will trust Him if only you prove  
True, every moment you live. [Refrain]  

3 Give as 'twas given to you in your need;  
Love as the Master loved you.  
Be to the helpless a helper indeed;  
Unto your mission be true. [Refrain]
