Sacred Trust - Petra

You never tried to win more secular appeal

And water down Your message with a slightly different feel

You never tried to be politically correct

Or skirt around the issue attempting to connect

You spoke the truth in love so faithfully

You expect no less from me

It’s a sacred trust that You gave to us

To take Your Word into all the world

It’s a sacred trust that You gave to us

The message of salvation and Your love

You never shied away from critical debate

Or beat around the bushes when discussing human fate

You weren’t ashamed to tell them who Your Father was

Never ran from persecution like human nature does

You prayed for all believers on Your knees

Then you handed us the keys

You’re trusting us to be bold

The story has to be told

To every nation and tongue

Young and old

I’m gonna shout from the hill

How could I ever be still?

I’m gonna let the chips fall

Where they will

You spoke the truth in love so faithfully

You expect no less from me
