Sent

I sent My Son Jesus to take up your sins and to mediate your case

In heaven for your souls so that only good you will chase

You also will be sent to the nation’s lost to bring the word of truth

Speak out from your heart to the lost, infirmed and the youth

They are the seeds that are planted in heaven’s holy fields

Their destiny is in the hands of the faithful and the harvest will yield

Strong servants that will be sent to other nations with the word in their heart

The faithful will speak and capture the hearts of many that will not depart

From the joy heaven brings and the grace to be given for all to share

The sick will be healed and lost will be found and saved from their despair

They too will be sent out and spread the word of truth to those in need

And once again in faith the fields will be planted with new seed

When it rains from heaven the seed will sprout and their beauty will shine

They will bring a message of truth to many who are in decline

Bringing back the lost to the fold in restoration of what is to come

All that was taken will be sent back to where it belongs for all not just some
