Faltering Response

There’s so many who need God’s Son, but as they bask in temporal fun,

They’re not mindful of God at all, being spiritually tainted by Adam’s fall,

To all of The Church we must appeal, as we’ve been asleep at the wheel,

Sometimes allowing to be ignored, men who desperately need The Lord.



Are we simply accepting their fate, while we, for Jesus, just quietly wait?

Knowing that eternity for all is real, have we, in The Church lost our zeal?

The zeal we had after we found Him, our Lord who saved us from all sin,

Who snatched us from the lake of fire, to fill us with a strong new desire.



A desire to point those who are lost, to the Salvation of Calvary’s Cross,

To reach all of our friends and family, with God’s Truth all about Eternity.

What stymied our need and desire, to point all men to an eternity higher?

A Heaven above the eternal abyss, far from Satan and each accomplice.



We need to wake from our slumber, to add more souls to God’s number,

Of those found in the Book of Life, that Book compiled by Jesus Christ,

Of all those souls upon this earth, who came to Christ through New Birth,

Born Again of God’s Spirit above, when they receive God’s Gift of Love.



And then our Lord places His trust, as He commissions every one of us,

All who in Christ, have been Born Again, to be for Christ, fishers of men,

And now with time getting so late, Believers must seriously contemplate,

Serving Christ with all our heart, before the time, the Church does depart.
