So Few

As the preacher stood, he thought the crowd small.
And wondered where were the rest, who heard the call.
Then a voice from heaven said “Let not your spirit fall”.
For every willing to worship heart is gathered in this hall.”
 
Lord, what words can I give that will be powerful and new?
I feel so helpless before these waiting and know not what to do.
They’ve heard it all before and believe every word is true.
How can what I say encourage the hearts of these faithful few?

 
My son, you are not called to show brilliance and wit.
Nor to be discouraged by numbers or cower and quit.
Each one is here by choice and won’t mind it a bit,
If you share again, the fire by which their soul was lit.”
 
The Savior’s sacrifice is what they’re longing to hear.
To confirm in their souls what drew them near.
How when bent over with guilt and shackled by fear,
They heard of His love so sweet and so dear.”
 
If there was but one who was gathered this night,
That soul would find heaven’s glories a welcome sight.
For until you are home in the presence of Him who is light,
Hearing it all over again will confirm what is right.”
