JESUS TOOK OLD DEATH

Jesus took old death
And shook it to the bone
He wrestled it victoriously
And took His trophy Home
The empty tomb was Empty
For He had risen indeed
Became the whole earth's Conqueror
And met the sinner's need

We stand amazed in wonder
What sin debt that we owed
Was paid in full not partial
By Jesus precious blood
Shall we, hold back from serving
Such One who loved us so
The fields are white to harvest
Go forth ye labourer's go

Look yonder to your brother
Neighbour, sister, friend
Even your enemies need Him
His love knows no end
The seconds go by swiftly
To minutes, hours, and years
What awesome accountability
Go forth and sow with tears

If no burden liveth
For the soul's of men
Pray it there my brother
Be the sinner's friend
Friend we have Lord Jesus
Who watches over our day
Loves hearing angels rejoicing
When sinner's have found the Way

I love it Lord to serve Thee
In any simple task
May I be swift to follow
In whatever way You ask
I know you came to seek
And to save the lost
Here I give my life Lord
What'ere may be the cost

I have fully enlisted
I own no other master
Take my life and let it be
All that You could ask for
You have given companions
Holy Spirit and Prayer
Your blessed Word the Bible
Will give us victory's there

O what love constrains us
Sustains us in the fray
Keeps the heart rejoicing
Sets the mind to pray
Redeem the time dear brother
Tis not the time to shirk
Remember the night cometh
When men no longer work
