"Turn you at My reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you; I will make known My words unto you" (Proverbs 1:23). "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
God has provided His power and Spirit
To those He has sent to proclaim
The Gospel of Christ to all who will hear it
And turn now to trust in His name.
O what a privilege is ours for a season
To go to earth's uttermost part
And answer all those who ask us the reason
For having this hope in our heart!
God has assured us that we're not alone;
His Spirit is with us as well,
To woo souls to heaven, to make His words known,
And warn of the danger of hell.
The days of our power and privilege are few;
Lord, teach us to number our days,
For nightfall is coming when work will be through,
And morning will dawn with Your praise.
So teach us, O Lord, to redeem every hour:
How rapidly from us they fly!
As witnesses sent with Your Spirit and power,
We go with the grace You supply.
