"Four leprous men… said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace… now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household" (2 Kings 7:3,9). "I will say of the LORD, He is my Refuge and my Fortress: my God; in Him will I trust" (Psalm 91:2). "The ransom of a man's life are his riches… a faithful ambassador is health" (Proverbs 13:8,17). "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men" (Galatians 6:10).
The
lepers said "We do not well"
With
riches they were cherishing,
Deciding
then to go and tell
Their
neighbors who were perishing.
Should
not we also do the same,
As
we observe their wise behavior,
And
bring good tidings in the name
Of
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior?
Declare
it here and all abroad:
Christ
ransomed us eternally!
Rise
up, ambassadors of God,
While
there is opportunity!
Our
opportunity today,
O
Lord, has been ordained by You
To
preach Your Word without delay,
Since
days on earth are fast and few.
