I do not know what will occur,
But certain that you will concur;
Placing no value on this life,
That is filled with toil and strife.
I just want to finish the race,
Without having fall from His grace;
And to carry out the mission,
That the Lord gave in a vision.
The mission is to testify,
So that more will understand why;
And knowing about the Good News,
That Jesus Christ has paid their dues.
Behold you have avoided your fall,
Because God also gave you a call;
If the message you did not hear,
Then you need to open your ear.
For the Word of the Lord is straight,
While holding a lot of weight;
It tells of the Kingdom of God,
And what happens where you are flawed.
Now I do know that none of you,
May never be seeing me through;
Until that day that we will meet,
And with Jesus take our seat.
So watch out just where you will walk,
And care for the entire flock;
I know that fierce wolves hide out there,
Wanting sheep to take to their lair.
