Speak Up Today

Luke 10:2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

Who will you see today, or who might see you? Who do you spend time with today, or who will invest in time with you? What will you talk about, how will you pass the time?

Lord today might be our last
The chance we might have to speak
Let us be bold to share of you
Let us be not afraid and meek.

Prepare our hearts to be open
Prepare our speech to share
Prepare our minds to thoughtful
Prepare our senses to be aware.

Prepare our testimonies to you
Of how to share our love for thee
Help us to remember the changes
Of when we first knew began to see.

Of how our lives changed
When we first began to believe
Of how we felt such a love
Greater that we ever conceived.
What you did for us Lord at the Cross
Paid a price we could never attain
Gave us the keys to eternal paradise
Freed us from the sins that would have slain.

Prepare the hearts of the hearers
Soften the worldly struggles and sins
Do a work before we open our mouths
Prepare to free them from within.

Let your words pierce the souls
Let your mouthpieces be clear and true
It is never about anything we did
It is always only about you.

This world needs to hear your story
This world needs us to share
This world needs to repent and believe
Before many are lost unaware.

We are so wrapped up in ourselves
We are so blind to the pain all around
We are headed to hell first class
And there will be no turning around.

May you use humble servants today
May you tug on the hearts to be bold
May they obey the Great Commission
May they do the last thing that you told.

Go out into the world around you
Go out and share the Good News
Tell them of everything they can gain
Tell them of everything they will loose.

You can be five or seventy
At any age you can hear and believe
God can open your minds and hearts
To a love greater than you can conceive.
