231. SEND THE LIGHT
1. There’s a call comes ringing o’er the restless wave,
Send the light!… Send the light!
There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save,
Chorus:
Send the light!.. Send the light!..
Send the light!… the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine… from shore to shore!…
Send the light!… and let its radiant beams,
Light the world… forevermore…
2. We have heard the Macedonian call today,
Send the light!… Send the light!
And a golden off’ring at the cross we lay,
Send the light!… Send the light!..
3. Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound,
Send the light!.. Send the light!
And a Christ-like spirit everywhere be found,
Send the light! Send the light!…
4. Let us not grow weary in the work of love,
Send the light!… Send the light!
Let us gather jewels for a crown above,
Send the light!… Send the light!…
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)
