"Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.... For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries" (1 Corinthians 15:58, 16:9).
Behold a door is open wide
With opportunity today.
God now bids us step inside
And then with diligence obey.
This door of opportunity
Is opened for obedience.
The impact on eternity
Should summon all our diligence.
God includes this guarantee:
Our labor shall not be in vain.
To live through Christ is victory,
To die in Christ, eternal gain.
So how can we afford to wait
While God commands us enter in?
The opportunities are great;
To turn away is surely sin.
