PSALM 2:7,8
I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have
begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends
of the earth your possession.”
It is hard to sit among those content with the comfortable mundane
And say out loud, “I am God-endowed with a mission to fulfill.”
It is a step of faith to stand unflinching and to all proclaim,
“I hear His call, despite it all. I know; I have been shown God’s will.
I have a vision of distant lands and people beyond the seas.”
He’s not forgotten His Only Begotten, and He’s shown His will to me.
He told me, too, “You are my son! Today I gave you heaven’s birth.
My precious one, to know I Am will be your inheritance and wealth.”
The Firstborn of many chosen brothers shares His holy worth.
Like the Father’s promised only Son, He holds me to Himself.
He is the Vine and I’m a branch on the heavenly family tree.
He’s not forgotten His Only Begotten, and He keeps His hold on me.
So will I ask for healing, wealth or some other selfish blessing?
For temporal toys and shallow joys, and maybe a nice vacation?
The ends of the earth are promised to me, given for my possessing.
He tells me, “You are mine; ask me for the distant teeming nations.”
They can be ours to know and love and tell as far as God can see.
He’s not forgotten His Only Begotten, and He will answer me.
Have I prayed for the Berbers and the Bora, the Jula, or the Han?
Will I ask for Madagascar, Persia, or the isles of the Coral Sea?
I can seek Him for the nations, Africa, Asia and far beyond.
I can touch the farthest corners of the earth as I rise up from my knees
I can pray and preach and go out and teach as far as I will believe.
He’s not forgotten His Only Begotten, and He has promised me.
