"Who can withhold himself from speaking?" (Job 4:2). "He hath put a new song in my mouth… I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, Thou knowest…. I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation: I have not concealed Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth" (Psalm 40:3,9,10). "The lips of the righteous feed many" (Proverbs 10:21). "[Jesus] saith unto him [the healed leper], See thou say nothing to any man… but he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter" (Mark 1:44,45).
Now who would
withhold the Lord's Word
From hearts that
still need to be healed?
The Gospel we
joyfully heard
Should likewise to
them be revealed.
Now who would inhibit
our singing
With joy for our
justification
Or silence the
Gospel we're bringing
Conveying the
way of salvation?
The truth of the
Gospel shall feed
The many to whom
it is sent,
Declaring the
truth sinners need,
Which calls them
to humbly repent.
O Lord, like the
leper who blazed
The message he
could not withhold,
Our heart by
Your Word is amazed
At tidings that
ought to be told!
