"A faithful ambassador is health" (Proverbs 13:17). "And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah.... So the posts went with letters from the king... saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the Lord God.... Yield yourselves unto the LORD.... for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful.... So the posts passed from city to city... but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. Nevertheless divers... humbled themselves and came" (2 Chronicles 30:1-11).
The aim and the priority
Ambassadors should hold
Is representing faithfully
The message they are told.
Let's represent the Gospel well
In word and in behavior
That has the power to save from hell
Through Jesus Christ our Savior!
The Gospel may be laughed to scorn
By those to whom we're sent;
Be faithful nonetheless to warn
The sinner to repent!
When Hezekiah reigned as king
He sent an invitation
With those who faithfully would bring
The message of salvation.
Some then scorned, but others came;
It is the same today:
So let us faithfully proclaim
The Gospel we convey.
So help us, Lord, to preach the wealth
Of life that never ends,
And thereby show Your saving health
The Gospel yet extends.
