Let Me Be Your Instrument
(Spontaneous song March 4, 2012, by Steve Kuban)

I’m just an instrument, in Your hands Lord
Play me with skill and anointing
I’m just an instrument singing Your song
I’m just an instrument
An instrument of worship
And an instrument of purpose my God
To do Your will

I’m just a voice my God
That You chose to sing through
I’m just a voice O God
That You choose to use
These are Your hands, O Lord
Playing Your songs from above
Letting the world hear of Jesus’ love

So come and sing through me
Come and play through me
Let the world hear my God what You have to say
Take these hands O Lord
And let them play Your song, O Lord
Let me be an instrument for Your purpose, Lord

When I sit beside still waters
I can hear the rippling stream
And I know that the voice of the Lord
Is calling to me
Times of refreshing, my God
Sitting at Your feet
Let the living waters flow,
Lord flow through me!

Let me be Your instrument

Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument of You O God
Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument O God
Declaring Your love to the peoples of the world

Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
Showing Your glory to the peoples of the world
Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
Singing Your songs of healing and joy to everyone.

5:10
I am Your voice
And I am Your melodies
Not of my will, but of the purpose of the Lord
I am a humble vessel
Singing Your praise to the world
Just let me be what You want me to be
To fulfill Your will O Lord

Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
Singing Your songs of praise, Lord to the people of the world
Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
Revealing God’s holy purpose to everyone

As I sit here every night playing the songs of Zion
And as I open my lips wondering what You will, Lord, say
And as I touch each note
I hear glory flowing out through me
And I stand in amazement my God
That You would sing and play through me!

So Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
Revealing Your purpose and Your songs of love to the people of the world
Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
Revealing Your love to the world that You’ve sent Your Son

I am thrilled to be used by You
To feel Your blessed Spirit move through me
I just love when I play my songs and I realize God is playing through me
Things I sure didn’t plan
I hear coming out my fingers
And I hear songs I’ve never sung coming out through me

Cause I am Your instrument
I am Your song of praise
How can the world hear what God is desiring to sing and play
So help me to yield myself to the power of God above
Bring Your songs and Your peace to the peoples everywhere
Bringing Your songs of love to the people of the world

(10:15) Instrumental

11:13
I can hear the cries of the hurting and the lonely
Wondering “Why am I here, just dying in this lonely place?”
I can feel the pains of hunger
In the tummies of the orphans and the young ones
As they’re crying out for a father in their heart

I feel the curse and the shame of the woman on the street—once again
Of the robber, and those who have brought them such misery
I can feel the remorse of those who’ve lashed out in anger and have cursed
Those who have spilled the blood of their sister and their brother

I can feel the cries of the fathers who have lost their child
And I can feel the broken heart of the mother left without child

I can feel the crippled one who can’t walk and can’t talk,
Who can’t hear or even see the sun
And I can feel the needy crying out for their daily bread
I can hear the cry of those who are in prisons for crimes they’ve never done
And I can feel the pain of the mother who’s lost her son

But I can also feel a rising warmth within my heart, bubbling forth
It’s the Son of righteousness arising with healing in His hands

So Lord Let me be Your instrument
Let me sing Your songs of love
Crying out, “Jesus Loves You, and Jesus gives You power from above”
Let me be Your instrument
Releasing Your revelation
Setting them free from the East to the West to every land

Let me be Your instrument
O God just singing Your love to them
Lord let them hear Your songs and melodies, bringing hope once again
Let me be Your instrument
Just singing Your praise my God
Declaring that Jesus loves them
And take them to the Lord

16:13 instrumental

Let me be Your instrument
Lord, Let me be Your instrument
Telling the world of Jesus’ power and might to save them
Just sing through me my Jesus Lord
Sing to me O God above
Just like the burning bush call them from above

Instrumental

18:45
I am calling out tonight
Lord let me sing a song that that’s got Your power and Your might
I never want to waste a moment
When I’m singing and I’m playing Your praise
Help me, Lord, to hear just what You want me to sing and play
Help me to always know the flow of God’s creativity

As I come before You, boldly to Your throne
I see the scepter extended, Lord
And I see Your ring and I see the robe (ah ha ha)
And though I was a prodigal
Just running away from my home
When I came by Your grace to my senses
My Father called me home
Always, You were calling me home

And as I stood there in the pits of despair
And I realized, “Why am I here, and not back there?”
I said “I’m not worthy Lord, to be called Your son. Just let me be Your servant, Lord.”
But then the door swung open wide, and my father came running to my side
And wrapping His loving arms around me, put a ring on my finger and a robe on my side

And said, “I am your Father, my son, don’t hide Your face, bowing down in shame
What the devil used for his devices, God will use for God’s praise”
Hallelujah, thank You Lord

And so my Father in heaven said, “Come, gonna kill the fatted calf for my son.
Gonna put a ring on his finger and robe on my son.
Call the servants of the master, call the family of the Lord
Come and let us celebrate for my son has returned, call everyone!”
there was rejoicing in the house (ha!)

So today, what can I say? It’s nothing that I’ve done, no no no way
It’s all by His grace that I can even sit here and sing and play

22:45
So make me Your instrument of praise
Cause that’s what I’m here to be
I am the prodigal son, who returned to his Daddy (ha ha!)
So I am indebted to Him
I hope You understand my heart
And I must play and I must sing
‘cause that is my God-given part

23:32
Lord let me be Your instrument

Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
Singing Your songs of praise to the people of every land
Lord sing through me, Your instrument
Sing through me, Your instrument
Singing the songs of Zion to the peoples of the land

Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
Singing the songs of the Lord to each and every land
Let Your songs of healing flow
To the heavens and the earth below
And let the world resound in freedom as they come, Lord, to You
Hallelujah!
(25:25) Instrumental

26:03
Lord let us be Your instruments
Lord let us be Your instruments
Let the angels rejoice and dance and sing, as we sing to You
Let us be Your instruments
Releasing them from prison walls
Singing with might and glory and harmony and victory and power!

So Lord send us as Your instruments
To each and every hurting soul
Let the lost and lonely hear the Father’s still waiting for them to come home
Let us be Your instruments
Visiting the broken and the lonely
Let them hear the songs of the Lord reaching out to them
To every lost and lonely one
Lord let them hear Your songs of love
Flowing from lips and hearts that are dedicated to Thee
And let them hear the Spirit’s voice
In might and power Lord
Come and deliver Your sons and daughters to You now

Lord let us be Your instruments
Let us be Your instruments
Sing through us Jesus and let Your precious voice be heard
Just sing though us, Your instruments
Sing through us, Your instruments
Lord let the world hear that Father God has given His one and only Son

Thank You for Your blood, O Lord
For dying on the cross for me
I will forever be grateful for the sacrifice You made at Calvary
Thank You for the stripes, O God
My healing is in Your stripes, O God
Thanks to my God I’m set free, from every sickness and affliction—right now!

Thank You for dying Lord, and thank You for Your resurrection
Taking my death upon Yourself, and my sins are on You
And when You rose in power Lord
You lifted me from all my scorn
Touched me, and said, “Let Your countenance be lifted up once again to the Lord”
With Your robe of righteousness
Wrapped around my filthiness
You imparted Your precious righteousness to stand before my God

And You washed me from my filth and my shame
I never need to ever bear it again
Now I am safe and secure in heaven’s Promised Land
You lifted me from darkness, Lord
You purchased me from my slavery
Now I belong to You forever, to sing Your praise

40:25
So let me be Your instrument
Singing Your songs of love, O Lord
Let the world hear what Jesus Christ has done for them by His love
O Father sing through me
Holy Spirit play through me
And let the world once and for all by Your power be set free

Lord let us be Your instruments
Singing the songs of the Lord to the peoples of the world
Singing the songs of God to the peoples of the world

48:03 (spoken)
O, Father thank You! Lord Jesus, thank You! Holy Spirit, thank You!
That we who were lost, You reached down and called us to Yourself
Thank You Lord, that when we were far away from You
God so loved the world that He gave His only son
So that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life

Thank You Father for calling us, thank You for wooing us
Holy Spirit, thank You for allowing us to hear the voice of God
and bringing us to the cross

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for going all the way to Calvary
You felt every stripe, and the beatings, and the spear piercing Your side
Though You were the King from heaven, they mocked You
They put a crown of thorns upon Your head, and blood poured down
Yet for us, You went all the way
You purchased us from that auction block of slavery, that we were completely helpless. Satan had the keys, but You came, and You emancipated me! Hah!
You came and emancipated me. (I feel a song coming on, ha ha!)

Oh God, now I am a slave to You—a slave of love!
And it’s my delight to just be, Lord…

Help me be Your instrument
Help me be Your instrument
Telling the world that Jesus Christ will set them free
Help me Holy Spirit, God
To flow in Your might and power
I yield all my members to the purpose of the Lord

52:45
My fingers and hands are Yours
My mind and my eyes are Yours
All that I am belongs to Father God, my King
Jesus You died for me
And now, Lord, I die for Thee
You are the Pearl of great price and everything I have belongs to Thee

53:32
So Lord let me be Your instrument
Lord let me be Your instrument
Reaching out Jesus’ love and power and grace to them

So sing through me my precious God
Let them hear the songs of Your love
Let the whole world know that God is reaching out to them

Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your instrument
All that I am, O God, I yield now to Thee
All that I am, O God, I give Lord now to Thee
All that I have, O Lord, I give now back to Thee

(Trumpet ending)
