Brother Don, Emily May Grimes penned this song. You set me looking to see what other songs were ushered from her spirit... my what a treasure trove! Does anyone know WHEN this was written, before or after she married in Africa? I memorized this over 35 years ago and it has supplied, encouraged, opened, and constrained me and so many others through these years. Lord, thank You for the faithfulness of the Body building up the Body with, through and in Thy Mighty LOVE.

This wonderful hymn so well captures the heart of a person who really wants God to use them to bless others. I memorised it some 40 years ago, but I do not know its author. Can anyone help me with that information?
