Go (Q and C Poem)

Go (Q and C Poem)

Go with His commission, go.
Christ said “Go” then said “Lo,
I am with you always.”
Go in prayer, go to share
Good News beyond compare;
Go highways and byways.

Why tarry so beside the road?
Jesus packs your heavy load,
And He it is who lifts you.
Go. What is your constraint?
Warriors were not trained to faint.
Gospel feet, go quickly.

Do just what the Savior said.
He who raised those humble dead
Now reigns in you to raise mankind.
Go boldly out into the world,
Where Satan’s fiery darts are hurled.
Christ is stronger. Trust Him.

Good soil awaits the Living Word
Tents of ease must be deferred.
Christ rewards our toil.
For God will send the latter rains
To soften up the loam again.
Love even grows in winter.

Go. March upon the gates of Hell
That open wide its jaws to swell,
And shout “Your slaves surrender!”
Angels high applaud the show
When saints turn out to face this foe.
What earthly power can hinder?

The Holy Spirit craves the Word
Genesis to Revelation heard.
Why tarry we here longer?
Since God brings all His truth to pass
Let fear of man be dead at last:
Our awesome God is stronger.
