The Promise - Revised and Updated

To my brother in Christ Alex Tinson
Written, published and revised by Jean-Louis http://thelightseed.blogspot.com

For us today, God´s promise still stands
He will act in power through our hands
Come rain, come snow, fire or even hail
The gates of hell will not prevail
He said it to Abraham and to His church again

He is our Head, His body is not the tail
Let His Spirit fill your sail
The call today is still the same
To go and catch fish in His name

Do not worry if you have the skill
The Master himself will teach you
Be obedient, faithful, and trust him
Your net with a good catch He will fill  
Raise up today the standard of love
Rest in Jesus´finished work

Walk circumspect, watch and pray
Right in the middle of the fray
Now is the time to stand up and fight
In the awesome power of His might
Shielded by your faith and His light

Hear today, Oh Christian under his blood
You will not perish in the flood
Our goal is close, I hear his voice
Calling his own: "my bride, late is the hour
Come up hither, my kingdom enter
Receive the fruit of your labour."

Maranatha, come Lord Jesus
