What have I to offer to a world in need?
Yet, for some unknown reason, you have chosen me
Lord, you've set my journey, you've prepared the way
Still, I'm desp'rate for the words to say, and
'all I am is willing; all I have is in your hands'

Speak for me; this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me

Ev'ry brief encounter that you send my way
Is a chance to show the love you gave me
I see their troubled faces, a hunger deep inside
But I depend on you to touch their lives
Light what burns within me, let your truth shine through my life

Speak for me; this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me

Sing for me, set me free,
They will see your holiness
Speak for me
'cause your love will lead them on to heaven's gate
Where they can look upon your face
Light what burns within me, let your truth shine through my life

(speak for me; this my plea
Say the words I can't express)
Oh, this is my plea
(sing for me) a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me

Sing for me, set me free,
And they will see your holiness
Speak for me, sing for me, speak for me
You're all I have to offer to a world in need oh
