How I praise Thee, precious Savior, That Thy love laid hold of me; Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me, That I might Thy channel be. |
| Channels only, blessed Master, But with all Thy wondrous grace, Flowing through us, Thou canst use us Every hour in every place. |

Just a channel, full of blessing, To the thirsty hearts around; To tell out Thy full salvation, All Thy loving message sound. |

Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me, A clean vessel in Thine hand; With no strength but as Thou givest Graciously with each command. |

Witnessing Thy grace to save me, Setting free from self and sin; Thou hast bought me to possess me, In Thy fulness, Lord, come in. |

O Lord, fill now with Thy Spirit Hearts that full surrender know; That the streams of living water From our inner man may flow. |

We are not in a movement. According to Hymns, #268, we are channels for God's Spirit to flow through us into others. If we visit the new ones in their homes every week, what is deposited into them will be with them for the rest of their lives. Even if we answer their questions with a few simple sentences, our answer will remain in the deepest part of their being. They may ask a simple question about dealing with their parents; if we are weighty, even a simple response will give them a deep impression. Our response will change their human life. This is what we must give people when we contact them through door-knocking. We must be prepared to do this.

it's 1:24am in the morning. I was praying unto God and pouring out my heart before him some minutes ago, when this song came into my heart I believe by the unction of the Holy Spirit. I didn't remember the lyrics so I google it. I feel great and nurtured by the words of the hymn. I believe God is telling me through the hymn to be a channel to bless d fellowship group with the message He gave me this night in John 11. God bless all by whom this hymn is ours today.

A great hymn indeed with rich wordings. How I pray I could sing and play it on a piano to my satisfaction. Let the meaning of this hymn fill my bottomless vacuum and satisfy my thirst and hunger in Jesus name. Amen.
Thank God for the soul that composed this hymn and blessed is he who sings this hymn.

I was asked to take up a prayer meeting with the Elders of the church in our Joint Leadership meeting. The Spirit of the Lord just whisper to me that you are all Channels only. The Lord's love has laid hold of us, saved and cleansed us to be used as channels of blessings to the body of Christ. Oh what a privilege.

The Lord has just graciously use my wife and I to be a channel to bless a ministry. Really a channel to link the ministry in need to a donor who met the felt need. When that was achieved this song I learnt over fifty years ago poped to my mind. Remembering only some lines with nowhere to find the song, I turn to Goggle and to my pleasure I found it. Thank you very much.
Surprised hearing this. I'm happy.

I also awakened with this song this morning after not hearing it for perhaps 40 years--so beautiful and expressive of our experience of God's Spirit which comes to us in our sleep with just the right words.
