Value of Vision

“Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18).  “Behold, now is the day of salvation…. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ” (2 Corinthians 6:2, 11:3). 

The people will perish where there is no vision;

How sad is the lack of that foresight today!

Our destiny hangs on a timely decision;

Eternity comes, and we all fly away.

The value of vision is seen up ahead

Where TIME meets FOREVER at destiny’s gate.

Behold, it is NOW that we need to be led

To trust in the Savior before it’s too late.

Eternity comes if we’re ready or not,

And time will not cater to man’s hesitation.

How dark is the vision affirming the thought

That we can afford to neglect God’s salvation!

The value of vision gives light to the lost

And surely enlightens God’s people as well,

For shouldn’t we also be counting the cost

Of living for Christ who has saved us from hell?

We thank You, O Lord, for the vision You gave

To trust You in time so that we could be healed,

And since there are so many more You would save,

Enlarge now our vision to work in Your field.
