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.

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

Lord, I want to be useful to You!

Revised version:

1. Jesus' precious blood has cleansed me;

Heavenly joy has flooded me;

Now, eternal life enjoying,

Living channel I would be.

Chorus:

Channel for His waters living,

Full of Spirit I would be—

Life infusing, dryness quenching,

Flowing life unceasingly.

2. Rich salvation, sweet and wondrous,

Satisfies my heart, 'tis true;

I would daily testify thus,

Drawing more to turn to You.

3. Lord, do wholly sanctify me,

Vessel unto honor make,

Fill with grace, rich life supply me,

Crowds to feed, their thirst to slake.

4. Empty me and fill completely,

Lord, possess me utterly;

Let the living water flood me,

Flow forth life eternally.

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.
