Meeting Day
Today, you stand before God’s folks, the chosen and redeemed
to feed them from the word of God, by whom you’ve been esteemed.
Speak boldly when you break the bread, you’ve studied through the week
that each one might be edified, as their Christ’s face they seek
And follow as God gives you light though other thoughts you’ve planned
for He knows what they need to hear. Let this be your command
Use parables as He has done. Explain as you deem right
and know that most will understand, well, all he’s given sight
For you’re not speaking to the lost: Souls are not yours to win
You’ve been called to feed his sheep, those who’ve learned they have sinned.
Their appetites, He’s whetted, for His manna from above.
So, praise Him with each word you speak, and tell them of His love
Tell them of the precious Son who died upon the cross
And of each one He died there for, not one will e’re be lost
But how, upon that final day, each one He’ll raise, on high.
To there forever dwell with Him, in that sweet by and by!
