I Play a Part
by Nila K. Bartley
As I fold my hands to pray…
What may come of this day,
I have a choice,
Each of God’s children has a voice.
I am important to God you see.
He loves me.
Jesus is true and faithful,
For this I am grateful.
For the choices I make today
Are either wrong or right, and will play
A part of God’s kingdom plan—
God has one for each child, woman, and man.
I play a part in God’s kingdom, too,
For God’s plan to work through
To the end to show others God’s love.
And that is why Jesus came from Heaven above,
That I may show others the way to Jesus, by the way I live.
My love I freely give.
God shows His love through me
So others may know why Jesus died upon that tree.
