How To Be A Missionary

HOW TO BE A MISSIONARY You may cross the ocean,
Or just the great divide.
But the person who does not know the Lord
May be standing by your side.

Speak out the Gospel message.
Speak it loud and clear.
Jesus died for all mankind.
Tell every waiting ear.

Practice what to say.
Practice what to do.
How to spread the message
Is strictly up to you.

Say, "If you die tonight,
Would you go to Heaven?"
I could show you in one verse,
If just a moment given.

"For God so loved the world
That he gave His only Son,"
To pay the price for sin
For each and everyone.

If you will but believe
He paid that price for you,
Your sin will all be washed away.
Your life will be brand new.

Justified is what you'll be
"Just as if" you'd never sinned.
The past is gone, wiped away,
A new life will begin.

Just take a moment here and there
That's all you have to do.
Before you start, say a prayer,
Then, give the Gospel clear and true.

Some go to darkest Africa,
And cross the ocean wide.
But the person who does not know the Lord
May be standing by your side.
