Going Into All the World

How fragile is our human life!
We’ve seen this world is only vain. . . .
Somehow, we manage to be here—
There’s hope because the Lamb was slain.
To focus on the present truth:
From all distractions—turn away!
To seek the Lord is what we need;
In Christ’s own presence—firmly stay.
Our lifelong journey’s not a toy,
Abandoning the gifts He gave.
So, make the plan to follow Christ
And choose His path—be bold, be brave!
Souls far and near are seeking truth;
There may be one you know who yearns. . . .
Just buried in that searching heart
A flame is kindled, softly burns.
It’s time to tell the candid truth.
No more bickering and factions;
No more whining and excuses.
Let’s show faith in all our actions!
Many lost are wond’ring, hoping;
Now’s not the time for idle chance.
The voice of God rings loud and clear—
It’s now the moment to advance!
Equipped with truth within our hearts
And lips ignited from the coal,
May we now pray, “Lord, lead my steps
To one dear person—to that soul!”
The sun is setting; time is short.
The mandate’s one we all well know:
Our risen Christ calls loud and clear—
Yes, now’s the time! Get out and go!
