Better Business

"And He said unto them, How is it that ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?" (Luke 2:49).

Our Savior who questioned the anxious concern
Of those who did not understand,
Might question us also, so slow to discern
The business of God now at hand.

For did we not know that His business today
Continues in those He would save?
And did we not know that He wants us to pray,
Fulfilling our mission He gave?

May we be about His business above
That labors in every nation:
To show to the world His marvelous love,
Extending His wondrous salvation!
