OH LORD MY GOD MAKE ME
Composed by Z. A. Ogunsanya Date: 20/9/2016.

Refrain: Oh Lord my God make me
Make me Lord an instrument
Oh Lord my God make me
A tool of Your Holy Ghost.
- Where there is trouble
Give me grace to show Your real peace
Where there is malice
Give me grace, to show kindness. -
Where there is sickness
Give me grace to bring Your healing
Where there is sorrow
Give me grace, to bring true Joy. -
Where there is falsehood
Give me grace to show truthfulness
Where there is hatred
Give me grace, to show Your love. -
Where there is despair
Give me grace to show genuine hope
Where there is real doubt
Give me grace, to show Your faith. -
Where there is slackness
Give me grace to show steadfastness
Where there is failure
Give me grace, to show success. -
Where there is darkness
Give me grace to show Your true light
Where there is badness
Give me grace, to show goodness. -
Where there is proudness
Give me grace to show humbleness
Where there is anger
Give me grace, to show meekness. -
Where there is coldness
Give me grace to show fervency
Where there is weakness
Give me grace, to show Your strength. -
Where there is worry
Give me grace to show real calmness
Where there is fear
Give me grace, to show courage.
10.Where there is hastiness
Give me grace to show true patience
Where there is grumbling
Give me grace, of long-suffering.
