Just Where I Am

Just where I am

oh

let me be

A faith­ful wit­ness

Lord

for Thee;

While oth­ers seek a wid­er sphere

Oh

keep me faith­ful

Lord

just here!

Just where I am: the way is rough

But Thou art near—it is enough;

They rest who lean up­on Thine arm—

O

make me strong

and keep me calm!

And if Thou

Lord

should’st point the way

To lands afar where shines no ray

Of light di­vine

then let me go

To speak of Christ

and heal their woe.

Or

if at home Thou bidd’st me stay

Let me be used to smooth the way

Of those who go at du­ty’s call

Leaving their home

their friends

their all.

Just where I am

oh

let me win

Some sad

des­pair­ing soul from sin;

With heart aflame

and face aglow

Strong in Thy strength

Lord

let me go.
