Cântăre Just Where I Am

1. Just where I am, oh, let me be

A faithful witness, Lord, for Thee;

While others seek a wider sphere,

Oh, keep me faithful, Lord, just here!



2. Just where I am; the way is rough,

But Thou art near—it is enough;

They rest who lean upon Thine arm—

Oh, make me strong and keep me calm!



3. And if Thou, Lord, should point the way

To lands afar where shines no ray

Of light divine, then let me go,

To speak of Christ, and heal their woe.



4. Or if at home Thou bid me stay,

Let me be used to smooth the way

Of those who go at duty’s call,

Leaving their home, their friends, their all.



5. Just where I am, oh, let me win

Some sad, despairing soul from sin;

With heart aflame and face aglow,

Strong in Thy strength, Lord, let me go.
