Set Apart for the Work

INTRO (organ) VERSE 1 While they were fasting in the Lord, The Holy Spirit spoke and said, "Set Barnabas and Saul apart For work to which I've called and led." VERSE 2 They laid on hands and sent them forth; They sailed to Cyprus on the sea; The sorcerer was struck with night, The ruler saw and bowed the knee. VERSE 3 In Pisidian Antioch Paul stood And told the story Israel knew: From Egypt, David, to the Son, The promise God has now made true. CHORUS I have made You a light for the nations, To bring salvation to the end of the earth; And as many as were appointed to life believed, And the word of the Lord went forth. VERSE 4 Through Him forgiveness is proclaimed, Through Him the guilty justified, From all the law could never free; Behold the risen Crucified! VERSE 5 The Gentiles heard and glorified The word of God with glad acclaim; Though some reject and stir up strife, The Lord still calls them by His name. FINAL CHORUS (descant over choir) OUTRO The word of the Lord went forth. Amen.
