Representative Text

1 Jesus has sav’d you from darkness and sin,
Now He expects you some others to win;
See how His passion for sinners once led
Your Saviour to die in the guilty ones stead.

Refrain:
What are you doing for others today?
What are you doing to show them the way?
What are you doing, O children of God?
Doing to lead men to Jesus, your Lord?

2 If you have tasted the good word of God,
If you are trusting in Jesus the Lord;
You will want others to know Jesus too,
Will hasten to tell what He’s doing for you. [Refrain]

3 If you forgiveness and life have received,
If you God’s promises fully believe;
If at the cross you have found heav’nly light,
Win others to Jesus from bondage and night. [Refrain]
