Gospel in the Gap

"I sought for a man among them, that they should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none" (Ezekiel 22:30). "I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus" (Acts 21:13).

God is still searching for those who will heed
His calling to stand in gap for the land.
He's looking for those who will yet intercede,
And those who steadfastly for His name will stand.

Whom shall He find, then, to make up the hedge
And stand in the breach of the broken down wall
Where so many souls at eternity's edge
Have not yet responded to God's gracious call?

Stand in the gap while God is yet seeking
For those who are ready to share the good news.
Silence is sin when we ought to be speaking
To plead with the souls who have so much to lose!
