These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Responsibility

Responsibility we have
to help our fellowman.
How could the job we ever halve
or finish God's Lone Plan?

The ones, who sin must go to Hell,
and sinners all we are.
How can we ever finish tell,
while living in this "jar?"

I never feel, that I am done.
I never fully start.
So many souls are not yet won.
No Christ in lasting hearts.

The ones I love are they yet saved?
Have I made Jesus known?
Each heart, once born, is still depraved.
This life we live has flown.

Eternal life is from The One,
Who died and rose again.
His Substitution for us 'lone
can pay for lasting Sin.

His Perfect Life can stand for each,
who trust Him as The Lord.
When made as sons, He then can teach
us daily in His Word.

When I breathe last have faithful been
to His Commission Great?
Have I called out to nearest men,
before it is too late?
