Into the World

We are called, given our marching orders
to leave our lives behind, to go into the world
sharing the message of the Messiah,
the risen Lord, walking with us, leading us
by his example, into the world
to bring hope, promise, love
A world so in need of the news,
the freely given grace of the father,
the creator of heaven and earth
willing to sacrifice his son
God having the faith of Abraham
believing God will provide
His love for us complete
saving us while we are yet
even though we are still flawed
broken, chipped vessels,
still worthy of saving
if we are willing to be fitted
for God’s purposes
So we must go out there
into this damaged world
to fulfill the promise of Christ
and bring about the heavenly kingdom
