"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). "Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us.... As workers together with Him.... by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left" (2 Corinthians 5:20, 6:1,7).
Winning souls for Christ is wise
(Though laborers be few),
As Holy Scripture testifies,
Commending those who do.
We see the tree of life in view
And the ambassador,
The worker, and the soldier too;
We ponder here these four.
We grow as trees with fruit for God
As souls for Christ are won.
How deep the roots, how rich the sod,
That glorify the Son!
We speak as an ambassador
For reconciliation.
Christ is who we're speaking for
To souls for His salvation.
We are workers with the Lord
Together in His field.
We sow with tears and look toward
The souls His Word will yield.
We are soldiers. This is war!
With armor stand and fight!
Stand your ground; advance for more:
Our cause for souls is right!
On these portraits meditate,
And pray that souls be won.
The stakes are high, the hour late;
Our work is not yet done.
