Give Me a Man of God - One man!

Give me a man of God - One man!

Whose faith is master of his mind.

And I will right the world of wrongs,

And bless the name of all mankind.

Give me a man of God - One man!

Whose tongue is touched with heaven’s fire,

And I will flame the darkest hearts

With high resolve and clean desire.

Give me a man God – One man!

One mighty prophet of the Lord,

And I will give you peace on the earth

Bought with a prayer not a sword.

Give me a man of God - One man!

True to the vision that he sees,

And I will build Your broken shrines

And bring the nations to their knees

(1983 Navigator)

One Man 이 되고자

One Man을 키우고자

머언 길을 왔습니다.

그러나

믿음은 초라하고

입술은 소란합니다.

이제는

허물어져 가는 장막에서

이 한 영혼의 구원을 기다립니다.

When God Wants to Drill a Man

When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man,
And skill a man
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;

When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!
How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses,
And which every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out-
God knows what He's about.
