Rise Up O Men of God
Matthew 28
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, make remarks about the Great Commission that Jesus gave us in the New Testament Gospels. He tells us that all power of Heaven and Earth is in His hands. Then He turns
to His disciples and commissions them to preach the word, heal the sick, and baptize in His name. Those of us in this present generation should continue walking in The Way and spread the Good News wherever we go. Pray and ask God for strength and courage for our journey and for this ministry.
2. As the song plays the second time, read the scripture found in the book of Matthew 28:16-20 and Matthew 24:4-14. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
To serve the King of kings.
Rise up, O men of God!
His kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
Rise up, O men of God!
The Church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task,
Rise up, and make her great!
