Escape from the shadows,
Withdraw from me night,
Abandon the darkness
Rejoice in the light!
Emerge from the hopeless,
Flee to a new day,
Where fruitless and empty
Have faded away.
Where life once more matters
You’ve found a new goal,
An image of purpose
Restoring your soul.
A memory of planning,
In your life’s design,
An urgent reminder
Of needing more time.
An anxious awareness,
Like a sharp, chiming chord
Of an endless horizon
With Jesus, our Lord
Inspired once more to look above,
Answer again to right and wrong,
To claim anew the pure delight
To praise His Name, in word, in song.
We reaffirm Salvation’s truth.
Once more, with Jesus in Accord
The Great Commission, yours and mine,
To tell the World about our Lord!
