When we dare to care
For things pertaining to the soul,
We are bold to proclaim truth
When with wisdom it unfolds.
When we dare to care
The seeds that we do sow,
God will water and will nourish
Where a harvest it will grow.
But if we do not dare to care
Where voices are restrained,
Many opportunities will be lost
And where regret it may remain.
When we dare to care
We know the value of a soul –
Is priceless in God’s eyes
With a salvation to behold.
When we dare to care
It’s a joy to truly share,
The good news of salvation
Knowing that God’s peace is there.
Because Jesus dared to care
When He hung upon that cross,
To eradicate God’s wrath
When with pain He paid the cost.
To dare to care is rare
When the cost is large indeed,
But where eternal rewards are more pronounced
In all eternity.
