54. I AM READY FOR SERVICE
1. Listen to the Master’s pleadings,
There is urgent work or all,
Heed the Spirit’s interceding,
Give this answer to the call:
I am ready for service for Thee, dear Lord,
Here am I – send me,
I am willing to be what You’d have me be,
I will go to where You want me to go.
I am ready for Service for Thee, dear Lord,
Here am I, send me,
Tho’ the pathway seems dark
For Thee I’ll do or die, I am ready for service Lord.
2. There’s a voice to you now calling,
Will you heed the earnest word,
On the ear it’s gently calling,
Give this answer to your Lord:
3. Many souls in sins are dying,
Haste to help them while you may,
For the time is swiftly flying,
Will you now to Jesus say:
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)
