584 Give All of Yourself Up to God’s Work
Verse 1
God’s Spirit is working great things now.
His work among the Gentiles has begun.
To work swiftly and effectively,
He divides all creation into kinds.
Chorus
Offer your whole being for all of His work.
Discern and know all He’s done for you.
Put all your strength, make His work effective.
This is what you must understand, understand.
Verse 2
Don’t fight, leave a way out or seek comforts.
This delays God’s work, spoils your great future,
brings destruction rather than protection.
So, wouldn’t this be foolish of you?
Verse 3
The things you greedily enjoy today
are just what is ruining your future.
But the pain you are suffering today
is what’s protecting and keeping you safe.
Chorus
Offer your whole being for all of His work.
Discern and know all He’s done for you.
Put all your strength, make His work effective.
This is what you must understand, understand.
Bridge
Take heed and be clear on all these things,
so that you don’t fall into temptation
which is so hard to find your way out from,
or blunder into the thick, heavy fog,
never to see the sun again.
When the fog clears, you’re in the great day’s judgment.
Chorus
Offer your whole being for all of His work.
Discern and know all He’s done for you.
Put all your strength, make His work effective.
This is what you must understand, understand.
