[Title: SEND THEM OUT ARMED] [Intro — Commanding Male Baritone] You opened the Book, You stood before the sheep. You spoke of Moses and the law— But what of Calvary? [Verse 1 — Southern Gospel Rock] You taught them every ordinance, Every shadow, every feast. But did you tell them Christ fulfilled What they could never keep? “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,” The handwriting nailed to His cross! Why send the sheep into the wilderness Without declaring what He wrought? [Chorus — Powerful Male and Female Harmony] THE GOSPEL IS THE POWER OF GOD! SO PUT IT TO USE! CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE! WHY WITHHOLD THE GOOD NEWS? NO LONGER UNDER THE SCHOOLMASTER! NO CONDEMNATION IN CHRIST! YOU WERE ENTRUSTED WITH THE GOSPEL— SEND THE SHEEP OUT ARMED WITH LIFE! [Verse 2 — Female Lead] The veil was rent, the price was paid, The Lamb fulfilled the sacrifice. The law could never make us perfect, But grace and truth came by Jesus Christ! “Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Then why return them to the bondage When the Son has made them free? [Bridge — Scripture Builds] “the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones,” “was to be done away:” “For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.” The letter killeth! The Spirit giveth life! [Verse 3 — Stewardship] A steward of the mysteries, A minister of reconciliation! Not preaching ourselves, but Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection! He died for our sins, Was buried, rose the third day! According to the Scriptures— THAT IS THE GOSPEL WE PROCLAIM! [Final Chorus — Full Southern Gospel Choir] THE GOSPEL IS THE POWER OF GOD! SO PUT IT TO USE! NOT ASHAMED OF CHRIST CRUCIFIED! NOT ASHAMED OF HIS TRUTH! PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD! TAKE THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT! THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND— LET WHOSOEVER HEAR IT! [Outro — Strong Female Solo] “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,” JESUS IS THE LORD
