Time to Testify


"It is time for Thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law... Therefore I esteem all Thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way" (Psalm 119:126-128).  "He that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30).  "Mine eyes have seen Thy salvation" (Luke 2:30).

How swiftly do the days pass by
As souls draw nearer to their graves. 
The time has come to testify
Of Jesus Christ alone who saves. 

There is a falsehood now employed
Endangering the lost today,
As men declare God's law is void,
Deceiving those they lead astray. 

It's time now to expose the lies  
Of those who thus deny their sin,
As God has called us to be wise
And pray for souls we seek to win. 

Our eyes have seen the Lord's salvation;
It is not time to hold our peace
As souls march on to condemnation
Where pain and weeping never cease! 

O Lord, we come in this late hour
Acknowledging that it is time
To testify of saving power
With grace that purges every crime. 

We thank You, Lord, that in this place,
You  found a way to save the lost. 
We testify of saving grace
For which You paid so great a cost! 

O Lord, the time to testify
To show You are the only Savior
Is surely NOW, before for souls die,
As You extend Your saving favor.
