“Lord, Give Me Pow’r to Testify”
Lord, give me pow’r to testify
To folks who live next door;
My life, O Lord, I sanctify
To witness more and more.
Lord, light a fire now in my soul
Then fan its flames each day,
O, may Thy Spirit have control
And teach me what to say.
Lord, give me wisdom then to know
The words they need to hear;
I would be faithful e’er to sow
Thy gospel far and near.
Lord, give me courage everyday
To speak to souls in sin;
Thy great commission I’ll obey,
A crown of joy to win.
