Lord, I’m Ready and Willing to be Perfected

The Lord gave gifts to the churches

Precious saints who love the Lord.

First apostles and prophets

Speaking forth Christ as the word!

Then He gave some gifts as evangelists

Who proclaim the gospel of Christ!

There are shepherd-teachers

feeding the saints.

But Lord

who am I?

Lord

I’m ready and willing to be perfected by You

Through the saints all around me

to build Your Body too!

Lord

I feel I’m unable to do what others can do.

As I look all around me

they all seem more useful to You.

But I see

dear Lord

I‘m here for Your need

To build up Your church today!

And You gave these gifts that I may be trained

Lord

perfect me

I pray!

In the church I’m perfected by the saints with the life supply.

I am growing and building

as I learn to minister Christ!

“Till we all arrive

” yes

this is our goal!

Every member builds today!

Lord

I give myself

Your Body to build.

Lord

for this now I pray!
