This song was written specifically for the feature film "Treasure in Heaven" during the summer of 2012 in response to the directors (Stephen Pappas) request for a song to express the pastor's (Rev. John Christianson) spiritual struggle between his own humanity and his internal desire to do God's will. This song is placed at the turning point in the film.
Lyrics
Use me
I am broken as a man
choose me
just because you can
I tried to turn and walk away
but your voice I heard it say
to me
Trust in my command
Use me
There's no turning back now
Teach me
To put my hands upon the plow
I am weak but you are strong
When you speak to me I belong
To all that is created by your hand
use me
just use me as I am
Use me
can't fake it anymore
Move Me
Shake me to the core
There's no turning back now
Your grace is enough
To be
To be it's own reward
Use me, Lord
Use me, I am broken as a man
choose me, just because you can
I tried to turn and walk away
but your voice I heard it say
to me, Trust in my command
Use me, There's no turning back now
Teach me, To put my hands upon the plow
I am weak but you are strong
When you speak to me I belong
To all, that is created by your hand
Use me, just use me as I am
Use me, can't fake it anymore
Move Me, Shake me to the core
There's no turning back now
Your grace is enough
To be, To be it's own reward
Use me, Lord
