Church Leadership Goals

Jesus’ means, of building churches
Equip our saints, disciple making
Spiritual reproduction, multiplying
May our leaders, start awakening.

So forsake selfish wants
Earthly pleasures and pressures
Instead “Here am I”
“LORD, You are my treasure.”

Recall, God has commanded
We be strong, of good courage
Are not afraid, nor dismayed
Nor are we discouraged.

In the midst of the night
When darkness, seems greatest
Know light, shines the brightest
So be strongest and bravest.

For despite, our church meetings
Jesus’ vision, is not progressing
Not faithful pew-sitters
But disciple-makers, spreading.

So, we likewise must repent
Of rebelling, and sleeping
We should rather, seek God
Not self-serving, but reaping.

Only those in good soil
Their hearts, noble and good
Obey, bear much fruit
With patience, withstood.

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

Deeper, yet deeper
Drawn deeper still more
Am so devoted, desirous
Of Your presence, O Lord.

Set free from all bondage
From rituals, religion
Customs, convention
Worldliness, and tradition.
