Why bother…
When Jesus is coming soon?
Why bother?
He could come morning,
night or noon.
No bother, I say…
If he should come today,
I am wonderfully saved
And ready to be on my way.
Why bother…
About what is going on?
Soon the Lord is going to
come-
He could do so before
dawn.
Why bother...
When nothing we can
change?
The world is supposed to
get worse
Because people are
deranged.
Why bother…
About the trouble I see…
And sing all day long
That nobody knows it but
me?
Why bother…
When Jesus is on his way?
Believe you me, you
scoffers,
It could even be today.
Why bother…
When the time is drawing
nearer?
Given the signs around
To me, it is definitely
clearer.
Jesus is standing up
The writing is in the air,
Why bother…
When I have no need to
fear?
Why bother…?
But he said, “Occupy till
I come.”
Why bother…?
Because he gave you a
great commission.
Why sit and recline
Without a care on your
mind
Knowing full well
That this is “go and tell”
time?
Why bother…?
Like seriously, are you
kidding me?
Just waiting for Jesus’
return
Seems so silly.
Where would you be
If that believer did not
bother
To tell you about Jesus
And instead had asked,
“Why bother?”
Why bother…
To keep looking up into
heaven
Instead of telling an
earthly brother
That his sins can be
forgiven?
Why bother…
To vegetate and lose sight
of life
Just waiting for Jesus to
return
To free you from earth’s
strife?
You ask, “Why bother?”
Because there’s much work
to do,
Being salt to the world
Is for me and for you too.
So, bother we should...
We are Christ’s lights in
this world
To minister his word
Until the whole world has
heard.
