A GRAND CAREER

Some of you who are here tonight
Are beginning new careers
You've planned and worked toward this goal.
And now you are pioneers.

And the rest of us would like to ask
Perhaps it sounds absurd
Would you investigate for us
The stories that we've heard?

We have heard some amazing claims!
We wonder if there're true?
Of benefits received by those
Who share this work with you.

Is your conscience really clearer
Than it was before you started?
Do you feel closer to Jehovah
And from worldly goals safeguarded?

Are you thinking more of others?
Not so often of just you?
Are there blessings from Jehovah
For you family members, too?

Can you defend the truth more ably?
Are you comfortable at the doors?
Are you really better organized
To deal with all your chores?

Is your thinking more in balanced?
Do you worry less and less?
Are the goals you 're reaching for each month
Worthwhile? The very best?

And do you always have before you
How we need the Kingdom rule?
Is your mind kept on the "real life"?
Valued as a precious Jewel?

Do you keep abreast of Kingdom truths?
Draw close to sisters and brothers?
Find joy in doing Jehovah's work?
Feel good about helping others?

Are you happy to help Jehovah this way?
In this important time in history?
How one career could do all this
Does seem to be a mystery!

Yet many have called it a vital work
A privilege in which to share
Spiritually upbuilding and
Proof of Jehovah's care.

If you find these claims are valid
That this work brings satisfaction
Please come and tell us the results
On your investigative action.

If one career can do all this,
If the stories we've heard are true,
Perhaps there are more of us here tonight
Who will take up this work with you.
