Withal
A very disconcerting thought came cross my mind today
What if the Lord were waiting for His people here to pray
Before He chose to finish all the work He has to do
To crush out all the evil and to ransom me and you
What if the pain we suffer and the struggles that we're in
Against that power of evil and that enemy of men
Could quickly reach the climax that the scriptures tell us of
And we could see our Saviour coming down from up above
But God was simply waiting for His people here to see
How great their little portion is in the necessity
Of massing all together as one body under Christ
One body to defeat the foe for which God paid the Price
For as the Bible tells us in the works of prophesy
Deliverance is coming for God's people to be free
But first we must be ready as one body moved by Him
Each member full surrendered to His purpose given them
For also as the scriptures tell us to be formed as one
Each member of necessity must know the Father's Son
With intimate inclusion in their practices each day
As they pursue His promises that line the narrow Way
And as each member's focus is in being just like Him
He'll guide them as a body to perform His will in them
Each one not like the other but in unison agreed
To do their part in reaching to the heart of every need
And sharing that provision that the Lord would have them do
As one they then could carry forth the work He brought them to
Denying all the evil that now rules the hearts of men
To lift up high the banner of Christ's victory over sin
That will at last be witnessed by the watchers in the sky
Who want so bad to see in us the Truth and reason why
We should be given heaven and eternity with them
Who never failed to love the Lord and serve and honor Him
So brothers now and sisters let us put all sin aside
And come as one together for the Lord we crucified
And stand against the tide of evil though we may be few
So God can work among His people as He wants to do
1 Corinthians 12:1-13:13
