"Make the seven lamps... that they may give light" (Exodus 25:37). "Men of the world... have their portion in this life... As for me... I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness" (Psalm 17:14,15). "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:30). "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time... Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it" (Colossians 4:5,17).
The tabernacle
lamps were made
To shine the
light as God ordained,
That Christ
might thereby be portrayed
As light where
darkness once had reigned.
How great the
darkness is today
That leads the
blind to hopeless graves!
The Gospel
shines to show the way
Of our escape
through Christ who saves.
The Lord has
called us to be wise
By leading souls
to His salvation
With truth that
will expose the lies
And rescue them
from condemnation.
So teach us,
Lord, to do Your will
As messengers
whom You have sent
With ministry
that we fulfill
By winning
sinners who repent.
