Not at death I shrink nor falter,
For my Savior saves me now;
But to meet Him empty-handed,
Thought of that now clouds my brow.

O the years in sinning wasted;
Could I but recall them now,
I would give them to my Savior,
To His will I'd gladly bow.

O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
Up and work while yet 'tis day;
Ere the night of death o'ertake thee,
Strive for souls while still you may.

This song reminds me of that part in the book written by brother Witness Lee "The All-Inclusive Christ". In chapter 15, it speaks of the Feast of Tabernacles and the Passover, when the Israelites were told to come, but in no means with their hands empty. What the Lord has revealed to me through the ministry is that we MUST enjoy the Lord daily, take Him as our supply, and come to the meetings. The best portion is for the Lord Himself, and the other portion is for you and the other saints. Therefore, feed richly on Christ daily. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!

Because I have a relationship with God through a very close relationship with Jesus. I love to share this with others, and when I sing this song I remind myself that while I may not have seen the results of my efforts someday they will be revealed to me. Hopefully the seeds I have sown will produce a harvest for the Lord.
