Publish with Passion

"The Lord gave the Word:  great was the company of those that published it.... Thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them" (Psalm 68:11,18).  "Open thy mouth for... the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction" (Proverbs 31:8).  "Son of man, I have set thee a watchman... therefore thou shalt hear the Word at My mouth, and warn them from Me" (Ezekiel 33:7).  "Thy Word is truth.  As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world" (John 17:17,18).

Publish with passion the Word that God gave;

Tell it to rebels with whom He would dwell!

Preach the glad tidings:  Our Lord lives to save

All who will trust Him to save them from hell!

Open your mouth as a watchman to warn

Souls yet appointed to their condemnation!

Don't be discouraged by mockers who scorn;

Publish with passion the way of salvation.

Lord, as the Father in heaven sent You,

Even so, send us to publish Your Word.

Give us Your passion in all that we do,

Preaching the way of salvation assured.
