"I held my peace, even from good, and my sorrow was stirred. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue" (Psalm 39:2,3). "Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:20-21). "Be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me" (Acts 27:25).
May God forbid
that I should cease
To show His only
saving way!
How can I ever hold
my peace
When souls are
perishing today?
In silence is my
sorrow stirred
To share the Gospel
of salvation.
The fire burns
to preach the Word
That saves a soul
from condemnation.
In Christ alone,
the King of kings,
The humble sinner
finds a Savior.
The Word of God has
wondrous things
To answer those
who seek His favor.
O Lord, the fire
burns within,
Since I believe
what You have spoken.
Let sorrow end
and joy begin
As silence, by
Your Word, is broken.
