Time to Testify

"It is time for Thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law... Therefore I esteem all Thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way" (Psalm 119:126-128).  "He that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30).  "Mine eyes have seen Thy salvation" (Luke 2:30).

How swiftly do the days pass by

As souls draw nearer to their graves. 

The time has come to testify

Of Jesus Christ alone who saves. 

There is a falsehood now employed

Endangering the lost today,

As men declare God's law is void,

Deceiving those they lead astray. 

It's time now to expose the lies  

Of those who thus deny their sin,

As God has called us to be wise

And pray for souls we seek to win. 

Our eyes have seen the Lord's salvation;

It is not time to hold our peace

As souls march on to condemnation

Where pain and weeping never cease! 

O Lord, we come in this late hour

Acknowledging that it is time

To testify of saving power

With grace that purges every crime. 

We thank You, Lord, that in this place,

You  found a way to save the lost. 

We testify of saving grace

For which You paid so great a cost! 

O Lord, the time to testify

To show You are the only Savior

Is surely NOW, before for souls die,

As You extend Your saving favor.
