Verse 1

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

Make me a blessing, Make me a blessing. Out of my life may Jesus shine; Make me a blessing, O Savior, 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, ev'ry moment you live.

Chorus

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

Verse 3

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.

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

Muchos qui viven en tu derredor, tristes, hambrientos están; tú, por tu vida, les puedes llevar gozo, luz y bendición.

Usa mi vida, usa mi vida para tu gloria, oh Jesús; todos los días y hoy quiero ser testigo tuyo, Señor, por doquier.

Toda tu vida hoy rinde al Señor, cada momento sé fiel; otros que vean en ti su amor, pronto se rinan a él.
