Jesus commanded 'Go Forth' Archives - Page 9 of 9

Outreach

Are you praying and seeking
That God opens doors
To make contact, connect
Ask His Spirit, outpour?

While Christians worldwide
Too often, stay in church pews
Despite Jesus’ Great Commission
Those who go, are so few.

So, do learn from Isaiah
Allow God make you pure
Are then ready, for God’s sending
See His Spirit, out-poured.

May our leaders, seek God’s wineskins
A fresh vison of Jesus’ call
A holy people, disciple-making
Going forth and reaching all.

For to live, or to die
In Christ, always gain
No matter the price
No matter the pain.

May Your people repent
Not caught up with ‘self’
That the poor and the lost
Find Christ, their true wealth.

Still today, we find excuses
Why we shouldn’t go
What if Jesus, faced the Cross
Then found reasons, to say “No’!

So, instead of my program
My purpose and plans
Present yourself wholly
For all God commands.

But sadly, so often
We too, failed to obey
For instead of us fishing
We’re distracted, and stray.
