-conversing In the Night Watch-
I heard you in the night watch
and You said to me,
"My redeemed and precious one
what is it you see ?"
I remember how you said
that You died for me,
how in Your Word I've read,
Your death makes me free.
"My son, do you believe this,
that from death I rose ?
Yet this truth so many miss-
in their lives it shows."
Lord, this truth I sadly see,
it is as You say.
Many lives to make free,
only You are the Way.
"Why is it you see this,
my redeemed, my son ?"
That to You, their Redeemer
their hearts would be won.
Lord, this is what I'll yet see
before my days are done:
Your Kingdom Life advancing
in Your daughters and sons.
"Son, this is what does attract:
the life you live in Me.
Though satan will still attack,
You live to set them free."
