Out in the highways and byways of life

Out in the highways and byways of life, Many 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. |

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, every moment you live. |

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. |

I woke up this morning singing this hymn in my head. It’s the first time in at least 40 years since I’ve heard it or sang it. The Holy Spirit reminds us for a reason. We must plant the seeds and reap the harvest of souls awaiting us in the fields.

I shared these lyrics with the men in our 7am Sunday prayer team as we start a new week.
This song has been in my mind from infancy as it is a ‘regular’ in churches I attend

My precious Mom taught me this song to sing as a small child as she played the piano.
It is the most precious moment I can recall that as a child, my Mom was The biggest influence in my life as a child, so much that after she was divorced we live together until the day she died. Every morning the song comes into my mind as I’m in the shower it is what I sing it is a prayer to me… I believe all the words in the song so strongly! Today I was able to share this with someone that meant so much to my son, her husband was like a father to my child!!
My child was 50 when he passed just recently, and he loved the woman I was able to pass this song on to so much but I feel like I’ve done something to make him so proud, and I’ve given her a tool that she I feel quite confident she will use until she gets called home to father God. Thank you Lord for music for prayers and for your letter to us. Thank you Lord for blessing me with being able to share something so beautiful to such a beautiful child of yours this morning who is getting ready to go out and pass out school bag bags to children and be a witness, oh Ms. Becky was already such a blessing !!!

Sitting on my deck this morning having my Bible reading and quiet time with God. After reading James 4-5 this song was brought to my mind. Couldn't remember the verses, just the chorus, but after looking it up the tune was right there. Praising God and praying this prayer! ❤️

For some reason, out of the blue, I was thinking about this song, but it was only the chorus of the song that I remembered. I looked up this song, found this website, and played the song through, and all of a sudden I just could not stop crying. This song hit me like a ton of bricks.
It brought me back to my childhood, when we would sing this in my church. Growing up in Massachusetts, this song was one of the songs in the Salvation Army hymnal that I grew up with. It also brings back memories of when my best friend Patty-jo and I would sit together and sing this song along with everyone at church. My friend Patty-jo passed away a few years ago, from a stage 4 breast cancer recurrence. She was an amazing person, and did her best to live her life in a Christ-like manner. I miss her so very much, but I know that I will get to see her again one day.

I was just sitting here in living room and, this Hymn came up in my spirit. I started singing but could not remember all the words so I looked it up. I got emotional bc I remember my grandmother taking us to Church in Guyana. Holy Spirit is ministering to His people. I am grateful as I read comments from others we are not alone. Thank you for this opportunity. God did not forget us He is ready to show Himself mighty and strong. He is God.
