No More Hiding
The loudness of the Christian cry against the ways of men
Is tempered by our own resolve in how we deal with sin
For many who are vocal on the evils of the day
Are often more complacent in that same destructive way
And instead of adhering to the standards they espouse
They hide in some dark corner like a timid little mouse
For fear when they're confronted about things they do and say
The truth of their hypocrisy will see the light of day
When truly if we're Christians as we often claim to be
Should we not be persistent hoping other folks can see
Refection of our Saviour shining through the things we do
As well as through our attitude and words we're speaking too
And shouldn't we be worried for the souls we chance to meet
If we don't show God's love through us then that is our defeat
For love's the greatest principle that rules the Father's throne
And rules the hearts of those who claim to likewise be His own
That love that sees surrender to His Way of righteousness
As power for the victory that gives us usefulness
In building up His Kingdom that will never know defeat
As those who truly are in Him will share the highest seat
That's there where He has promised for the faithful and the few
That show by their obedience in everything they do
That they are truly Christians as is meant in every sense
Not fearful of the future as there is no consequence
Of evil for the chosen who meet Jesus everyday
Upon their knees in waiting listening as they read and pray
For Him to give instruction for the path they have to choose
To follow through each day of grace they're wanting not to lose
For Jesus is there waiting wanting more than anything
To give His Spirit's guidance on the path He's offering
To mold us for His Kingdom as He knows we want to be
When in our hearts we seek His will with all sincerity
So friend don't wait or linger long if you've still to decide
Invite God's Spirit in your heart to make you new inside
And cry aloud before the world the end will soon be here
As only those who know Him best can make His message clear
Isaiah 58:1-14; Revelation 3:21
