If He Can Use a Stable

If He can use the smallest things to work His mighty plan,

If He can use the simple things to draw men to His hand,

If He can speak through paupers low a message to the world,

Then may my prayer be always that through me He can be heard.

Take our home and use it for Thy glory

Take our heart and use it for Thy Thone,

If Thy birthplace was a shed,

If a manger gave Thee bed,

If a hillside gave Thee place where the hungry could be fed,

Then take our humble lives, and use them as Thine Own.

If He can use a virgin’s womb to bear the King of kings,

If He can make His presence known through songs a shepherd sings,

If He can turn a stable to a holy temple place,

Then I will bow with contrite heart and offer him my praise.

Take our home and use it for Thy glory

Take our heart and use it for Thy Thone,

If Thy birthplace was a shed,

If a manger gave Thee bed,

If a hillside gave Thee place where the hungry could be fed,

Then take our humble lives, and use them as Thine Own.

If He can use a stable, if He can use a hill,

Then what I have to offer, He can use that still.

Take our home and use it for Thy glory

Take our heart and use it for Thy Thone,

If Thy birthplace was a shed,

If a manger gave Thee bed,

If a hillside gave Thee place where the hungry could be fed,

Then take our humble lives, and use them as Thine Own.
