So Much at Stake

We live our lives from day to day

We work, we eat, we sleep, we play.

Is this all there is to what we call life

To live comfortably here – free from strife?

What about those whose lives are led

Dreaming of good food and a nice warm bed?

What about they who have never heard

Of the one true God and His Son, the Word?

We have all we need and we know what is true

Yet the harvest is great and the workers are few.

Will we choose to spend our one short life

Living for Jesus or fleeing from strife?

The choice is mine – I make it everyday

To live for myself or on the godly way.

May we never forget that others still wait

For someone to tell them before it’s too late.

There’s so much at stake as we live out our days,

So many others must hear of God’s ways.

So pick up your shield and unsheathe your Sword,

There’s a battle to fight for the glory of the Lord.

The battle’s still raging – it will for awhile

Truth is rejected and falsely on trial.

So pick up your shield and unsheathe your Sword,

There’s a battle to fight in the Name of the Lord.
