Now is the Time

Children of the Promise; Redeemed of the Lord -
now is the time to take up God's Sword;
to wear the full armour of God night and day
so that Satan can't tempt us or lead us astray.

Be wise as serpents yet gentle as doves,
speaking God's Truth in boldness and love;
standing in faith, not giving an inch;
praying for strength so we won't even flinch.

The harvest is ripe and ready for reaping;
many lost souls are at this moment seeking.
Go now and find them and help them to see
that only in Jesus can man be set free.
