MAKE ME A BLESSING - Ira B. Wilson - Out in the highways and byways of life, many are weary and sad; 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.

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

.

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. 
.
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 
.
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. 

.
