Church Calendar: Missions Sunday
For those who go to the field, the missionary call frequently comes early. This song expresses the quiet yieldedness which is so easily demonstrated early in life, and is a prayer to be sent to wherever God wants us to go so that we may do His will.
The clue is in the words: “Be Ever Near, Lord, Ever Encourage…” are the first words in the third verse. Furthermore, Ben has shown a heart for missions, having gone to the Philippines with an missionary basketball team, and in continuing to look into more opportunities to take the Gospel to others.
Send me forth, O Lord, to testify in faithfulness and joy,
That You are God, that You are King,
That You are Savior, and only in You is life eternal.
Use my life, O Lord, to prove the testimony of my mouth,
That I am Yours, that You are mine,
They my purpose is to bring You glory, Heavenly Father.
Teach me to worship, teach me to praise,
Teach me obedience all of my days.
Be ever near, Lord, ever encourage me,
That You are love, that You bring joy,
That you give peace to those who will walk in Your way.
Amen.
