I Need You

I need your warm smile
To soothe wounded souls;
It’s a medicine I use
For their hurts, pains, and woes.

I need your tender heart
So others are loved by you;
Everyone you care for...
They'll feel My love too.

I need your supportive voice
To encourage and teach;
My words - I speak through you,
To minister and to preach.

I need your personality
For people to relate;
They’ll follow your example,
And stop doing things I hate.

I need your Christlike character...
The way you live everyday;
Your actions speak louder
Than most words you say.

I need your testimony
To be a witness that I’m real;
Living proof of My power
To save, change lives, and heal.

I need your life experiences.
A past of sin and mistakes;
To comfort those now in the same.
Your wisdom they might take.

I need your gifts and talents.
Serving others is My Will;
Through the work you do,
I bless people with your skill.

I need your arms and hands
To serve the young and old;
And I embrace that person
You lovingly, hold.

I need your feet for traveling
To your every destination;
To help spread the gospel,
And save souls to all nations.

You are My Body.
I function through what you do;
Every part is so important...
That’s why I need all of you.
