Read and Run

"Wisdom.... crieth upon the highest places of the city.... Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding" (Proverbs 9:1-6). "And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time.... the just shall live by his faith" (Habakkuk 2:2-4). "As workers together with Him... receive not the grace of God in vain.... Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:1,2).

There is a message God will give
That we should preach without delay:
It is by faith the just shall live,
By trusting Jesus Christ today!

We ought to make the Gospel clear,
And send it forth with those who run,
That all who yet have ears to hear
May put their trust in God the Son.

Now write it down and make it plain,
That those who read may run with speed,
For they shall never run in vain,
Who sow with tears the Gospel seed.

Lord, thank You for your Word sublime
That's settled for eternity;
We know that the accepted time
Is NOW to preach with urgency!
