In
ancient Judah there were kings
Whose
hearts by God were greatly stirred
To
seek His face and speak of things
Which
God had promised in His Word.
King
Hezekiah rightly saw
That
God extended mercy then,
And
thus with letters he would draw
The
hearts of many wayward men.
And
so his posts went place to place
Proclaiming
at the king’s command
That
it was time to seek God’s face,
Whose
tender mercies were at hand.
His
couriers were mocked and scorned,
As
are God’s messengers today,
Yet
now, as then, some will be warned
And
turn to God while still they may.
As
couriers of Christ we speak
Of
things that touch our King and Savior,
Declaring
that it’s time to seek
And
trust the Lord to find His favor.
In
truth and meekness Jesus came
To
give to us His righteousness.
Apart
from Him there is no name
By
which the Lord our God will bless.
What
gracious words from Christ are poured!
What
mercies now our Lord extends!
As
couriers of Christ our Lord
We
take the Gospel where He sends.
It
is by grace we’re taught to fear
And
prompted then to run and hide.
Our
Hiding Place in Christ is near,
And
those who come are justified.
We
thank You, Lord, that You now use
Your
people as ambassadors
And
couriers of Your Good News,
So
all the glory may be Yours!
