Time to Tell

"To everything there is a season.... a time to keep silence, and a time to speak" (Ecclesiastes 3:1,7). "The dispensation of the grace of God... which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now.... Unto me, who am least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ" (Ephesians 3:1-8).

To everything there is a season,
And now it's time to tell
To everyone who asks the reason
We know we're saved from hell.

The time for silence now is past!
The Gospel should be preached
To show, in Christ, the riches vast,
Till every soul is reached.

The dispensation of God's grace
Upon our souls has dawned.
We ought to teach in every place
To all who will respond.

O Lord, we know the time is now
To preach where You will lead.
We know Your Spirit will endow
The power that we need.
