*****
A thing or two I have learnt in my short stay around
A surety that surpasses the rising of the sun;
Our Lord will never lack a remnant
The call to make stones worship Him will not soon come
But even if that day comes, a remnant He will raise for Himself
*****
Today His voices speaks, a people He is calling
In His harvest field, fruits are in plenty
Only a man or woman called hitherto to reap His harvest
The barns are ready; the store house is barely empty
More laborers are needed, a remnant for the Lord
*****
When you answer the call, expect not recognition
Seek not to be appreciated
Await hatred and persecution
But when the Lord’s sheep enter the pen
Acknowledge that you are an unworthy servant;
You only did your duty and remained a remnant of righteousness
*****
I delight in your ways oh Lord!
You Word and statutes shall I extol
In the morning I will rise and be found on your vineyard
A servant seeking no pay or gratitude
My only desire; to be your remnant precious Lord.
*****
In the previous days we saw the disciples
Apostles were quick to succeed them
The evangelicals came by and made impact
Martin Luther, D L Moody and Billy Graham
Today it will be you and I; a remnant He must have.
