Use Me
Josiah Queen's song expresses a deep trust in God's ability to use ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. The lyrics reflect on biblical figures like Moses, Peter, David, and Elijah, as well as everyday believers such as pastors and teachers, affirming that God can use anyone. The song acknowledges personal struggles with anxiety and pain but finds comfort in surrendering to God's hands. It celebrates God's power to strengthen the weak, give life to the dead, and transform the poor, inspiring confidence that the singer can also be used by God. The overall message is one of faith, hope, and surrender.
I read you used loaves and bread
Raise the dead with what you said
So I know that's what you do
I've seen you use men like me
To free the slaves and part the seas
So I know that's what you can do
You make weak things strong
You give bones their flesh
Oh, I believe you can use me
You make poor men rich
And give dead men breathe
Oh, I believe you can use me
When tragedy is all I see
Drowning in anxiety
I'll trust it's in Your hands
A pain so real it moves my feet
My soul sings a melody
I trust it's in Your hands
You make weak things strong
You give bones their flesh
Oh, I believe you can use me
You make poor men rich
And give dead men breathe
Oh, I believe you can use me
Just like Moses
Just like Peter
Just like David
And Elijah
Just like my Momma
And my Father
If you can use them, You can use me
Just like my Pastor
Sunday school Teacher
Front door Greeter
Student Leader
Just like the missionary
Or the one who cleans the sanctuary
If you can use them, you can use me
You make weak things strong
You give bones their flesh
Oh, I believe you can use me
You make poor men rich
And give dead men breathe
Oh, I believe you can use me
I believe you can use me
Oh, I believe you can use me
