To the Ends of the Earth

Mathew 28:18-20

Even after Christ had risen there was doubt,
When the eleven disciples went into Galilee;
A mountain where Jesus told go there about,
And that would be the place for them to see.

In seeing Him they were in awe and amazed,
As they began to worship Him with praise;
In having known from the dead to be raised,
That would seem impossible in those days.

But all authority to Christ had been given,
By Almighty God who had originally sent;
With the power over both earth and Heaven,
Delegated from the Father for to represent.

Christ told them go out to all the nations,
And in order to make disciples of them all;
Thus a solid rock for a church foundation,
Baptizing in the Trinity both big and small.

Teach others the rules and also the Gospel,
And that Christ will be with us to the end;
Shout it out to every ear of all the people,
That in Christ they always have a friend.
