What if I am just a failure?
What if all I've seemed to do
Is travel on and leave in shambles
What I've touched as I've passed through?

What if as a parent
Or a mate I've seemed to fail?
What if I've to crime resorted?
What if I've been sent to jail?

What if I have lost a fortune?
Foolish waste has cost it all.
What if every turn I've taken
Led me up against a wall?

How can ever in this life
Jesus use someone like me?
How can Jesus use a failure?
What good on earth could my life be?

Friend, Jesus shops for future leaders
Often in the failure store.
Often those He picks to cherish
Have been tried and failed before.

But through failure's crushing signals
Oft' there breathes a dying breath;
And a God of resurrection
Has a life to bring from death.

From the rubbish heap of failure
Sovereign Holiness will choose
Men and women oft' defeated
Saying, "Here's one I can use. "

So it was to be with Moses
"Lead My people out, " his chore
Not until he'd failed completely
Could God open up the door.

So it was with Abraham
Father of the world to be
Childless still at 90; then
God's miracle his eyes could see.
So it was as well with Joseph
Dad's beloved, dreamer; fool.
Not until 'twas sold in slavery
Could he really be God's tool.

That's the message oft' repeated
From the Holy Spirit's pen
God delights to turn life 's failures
Into His successful men.

What if I am just a failure
What if all my marks are poor?
You may very well be
Just what God is looking for!
