Make Me a Blessing
Words by Ira B. Wilson

Genesis 12:2
"And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee,
and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:"

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

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

          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.

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

          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.

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