Who Then

I always thought 
That when it came to God
He'd get something done 
Using someone
So I stood aside
In this passing life
And watched all the action
With self satisfaction
Then came the day 
I stood up to say
Lord if not them
Who then...

Who will carry the banner
In what really matters
Spreading the word
To a nation unheard
The battle cry 
Of the Lord Jesus Christ
The mighty call
Given to all
Before the lights went out
I again thought about
Lord if not them
Who then...

That's when God said to me
Just plant the seed 
I'll do the rest
With all that is left
They surely will come
One by faithful one
At this moment in time
To pick up the plumb line
So if not you
And my chosen few
God said with a grin
Who then...
