53. SO SEND I YOU
1. So send I you – to labour unrewarded,
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown,
To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing.
So send I you – to toil for Me alone.
“As the Father hath sent Me,
So send I you.”
2. So send I you – to bind the bruised and broken,
O’er wand’ring souls to work, to weep, to wake,
To bear the burdens of a world a-weary
So send I you- to suffer for My sake.
3. So send I you – to loneliness and longing
With heart a-hung’ring for the loved and known,,
Forsaking home and kindred, friend and dear one
So send I you – to know My love alone.
4. So send I you – leave your life’s ambition,
To die to dear desire, self-will resign,
To labour long and love where men revile you.
So send I you – to loose your life in Mine.
5. So send I you – to hearts made hard by hatred
To eyes made blind because they will not see,
To spend, th’ it be blood to spend and spare not
So send I you – to taste of Calvary.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
