Our hope is that we will see Jesus


Our hope is that we will see Jesus
Our confidence: that He is with us now
Hope and Confidence birth action—
The spreading of seed—Toil—Plow

We are wheat among tares
In appearance both the same
Nothing to distinguish us
But the day of reaping—Fire—Flame

To know is to be responsible
Know that reconciliation is our ministry
Know that your hope could be your neighbors
Know that the Truth sets people free

But how can they know unless they hear
And how can they hear unless we speak
God’s sovereignty is not at odds
With our call to testify
Bear witness!—Represent!—Preach!

So if there is any encouragement in Christ
Any comfort from His love
Any participation in His Spirit
Be of the same mind
Faith. Hope. Love!
