if I do not proclaim the gospel

Hard to explain
why I feel compelled to write
driven to share the gospel
God’s love, his might
maybe the words of Paul
the apostle, the zealot
not choosing to share
but commissioned by God
if I do not proclaim the gospel
if I do not share God’s light
the love of our Savior
God’s love, his might
what would befall me
woe betide me
if I would keep them hidden
the words given to me.
