In the Way by The Needhams Lyrics

Just a boy too young to work; too old to play
He’s crowded close and underfoot and in the way
He hears the savior asking philip where to find some bread
But jesus knew that boy would offer everything he had

A person of no consequence ignored and insignificant
Without apparent reason god would choose him
No great talent or ability
Merely his proximity
There beside the savior who would use him
Just a willing heart pressed in close waiting to obey
Exactly where the lord would have him be
Right there in the way

I am certain in the crowd assembled there
That some others would have had much more to share
No one else was near enough to hear the whispered voice of jesus
He was in the way right where he was needed

I want to be the one who stays so closely by your side
That when you choose a servant
The name you call
Is mine
Right where the lord wants me to be
Right here in the way
