You say you’re tired of my preaching,
Well, friend, I get so tired too,
No matter how much I keep warning,
It seems I can’t get through to you.
You’ve built your wall of resistance,
Stubbornness and pride a mile high,
You foolishly reject the Lord Jesus,
Tho in your sins you are sure to die.
You say my efforts are so pointless,
That I should just give up the fight,
But I will just keep praying for you,
And hope someday you’ll see the Light.

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true . . . But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me . . . ” John 5:30-32, 36-37a, KJV
“Which he [God the Father] wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” Ephesians 1:20-23, KJV
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11, KJV
“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” Romans 14:11, KJV
Throughout the Bible’s long history,
Alone holy Prophets seemed to be,
Yet they had a constant companion,
Which the world simply couldn’t see.
Wandering over mountains and hills,
Preaching in cities against deep sin,
They’d often encounter the darkness,
Yet God’s light burned bright within.
They were known as solitary figures,
Sometimes there was a need to hide,
Though people turned against them,
The Lord remained a continual guide.
Well today it really is not so different,
For God’s folks who spread the Word,
Even if you’ve never really met them,
Their message you have surely heard.
Often they work alone in their rooms,
Writing out a truth God has revealed,
Beyond the loud noises of this world,
By God’s Spirit they’ve been sealed.
So if you count yourself among them,
May God bless you in all that you do,
If you remain faithful for all your days,
He’ll reward you when your life is thru.
