Unworthy Sandal Carrier

“I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ...”

 Lord
I said I would do anything
Or if You just want me to do nothing
I'll do it

But then
I realized that 
I am not worthy of that
Doing something 
Or even
Nothing 
For You

How can I
A lowly person
Full of sins
Weakness
Tiny creature
Worthy to worship or serve
The Holy, Almighty Creator of the Universe?

But Your sovereign grace had chosen me
So Lord I come before You
With a humble and unworthy heart
Help me and teach me to serve You
And the people You wants me to serve

Even serving You
Is a grace to me
And for me

Thanks You Lord Jesus
Amen 

Make me a captive, Lord

Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free.
Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life’s alarms when by myself I stand;
Imprison me within Thine arms, and strong shall be my hand.

My heart is weak and poor until it master find;
It has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move till Thou has wrought its chain;
Enslave it with Thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign.

My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve;
It lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve.
It cannot drive the world until itself be driven;
Its flag can only be unfurled when Thou shalt breathe from heaven.

My will is not my own till Thou hast made it Thine;
If it would reach a monarch’s throne, it must its crown resign.
It only stands unbent amid the clashing strife,
When on Thy bosom it has leant, and found in Thee its life.
