Speak!

Let not the fear of men hold back your tongue

When telling of your Savior, Christ the King.

The world's not like your church where hymns are sung;

Its look is harsh, its words like bees will sting.

Be not afraid, but speak both bold and true;

With Jesus by your side He'll see you through,

And even if they hold a knife to you,

With your last breath forgive them what they do.

Within a crowd there will be one to save,

But if you don't speak up they may not hear.

The world may put your body in the grave;

The gospel, though, will never disappear.

            Though Satan's at your door and you feel weak,

            The Savior's here with you - stand up and speak!

            ~~~~~~~~~~~

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision,

Be not afraid, but speak,

and hold not thy peace

Acts 18:9 KJV
