Instruments of Righteousness
Father, make us instruments of Your righteousness,
Dedicated to serving You –
Steady, useful tools in Your omnipotent hand…
Faithful and true in all we do;
Not carried away with every wind of doctrine
That cunning men would bring our way,
But unmovable, steadfast, anchored in Jesus…
Ready for service every day.
When Satan would attempt to divert our mission,
Enticing with worldly pleasure,
Keep us ever mindful of our purpose in Christ…
There we find our greatest treasure;
Our heart’s desire is to follow Your will and way,
And be all You would have us be;
Take us and make us Instruments of Righteousness…
Useful in Your hand…souls to free.
“Yield yourselves unto God, as those
that are alive from the dead,
and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.”
(Rom. 6:13)
