Spread the News
by Barbara Philbrook

Spread the news get it out.
Jesus will soon be coming with a loud shout.

Come here to reclaim this world and His sheep,
and if you're not one you will forever weep.

The news is monumental. It is of great import.
Jesus loves us. All men of all sort.

He gave up His throne and came here to hang on a cross,
all to keep your life from being a loss.

He paid the price of your sins before you were  born,
and the fact that you reject Him makes Him forlorn.

Open your eyes ask that all truth you may see,
then you will know Jesus died for you and me.

Accept the offer of salvation invite Jesus within,
then the new life in you will instantly begin.

Spread the news. Tell all far and wide,
Jesus is knocking, wishing within each of us to abide.

Immediate occupation is what instantly takes place,
and from that moment on Jesus is reflected in your face.

Others will witness the changes in you,
and desire this perfection in their lives too.

Spread the news. The time is short.
Another's salvation may be lost if you do not.

Spread the news. Let's reach all that we can,
Jesus does not want to lose even one single man.

Spreading the news should be our greatest endeavor.
All who accept will be with Jesus forever.
