When our time comes to stand before the Lord,
& our life here on earth is done,
whether He calls us home alone, or together
in the catching away by the Son,
all I want to know is that we're in His will,
right where he meant us to be,
& that he will be pleased with us, because, most of all,
we made a difference to someone's eternal destiny~
When we remained in the bondage & pain
yesterdays buried us under
we missed the miracles, the joy,& the peace
that can fill us with passion & wonder,
passion to see others come as they are
boldly to the throne of grace, too...
...& wonder to marvel that He chose preaching & prayer
to win the lost to Him, through me, & you!
I observe all the signs, as they rapidly increase,
& know Your return has drawn nigh,
I'm learning to watch on my knees faithfully,
& keep looking toward the eastern sky,
but still, You delay Your return for the ones
who have yet to hear the good news, & see
that You're calling them home,& will wash them clean,
if they'll just face that they need to be.
So, Father, whatever time still must unfold
before we finally see You face to face,
open the door for us to be zealous, & bold
to tell others of Your Amazing grace!
Remove any shortsightedness,& return our total focus
to those dying day by day, without You!
Here we are, Lord! Send us wherever
You've planned for us to be, & do
all that You put us here to!
