SDAH 578
So send I you- by grace made strong to triumph
O’er hosts of hell, o’er darkness, death, and sin,
My name to bear, and in that name to conquer-
So send I you, My victory to win.

1
So send I you- by grace made strong to triumph
O’er hosts of hell, o’er darkness, death, and sin,
My name to bear, and in that name to conquer-
So send I you, My victory to win.
2
So send I you- to take to souls in bondage
The word of truth that sets the captive fee,
To break the bonds of sin, to loose dearth’s fetters-
So send I you, to bring the lost to Me.
3
So send I you- My strength to know in weakness,
My joy in grief, my perfect peace in pain,
To prove My power, My grace, My promised presence-
So send I you, eternal fruit to gain.
4
So Send I you – to bear My cross with patience,
And then one day with joy to lay it down
To hear My voice, “Well done, My faithful servant –
Come, share My throne, My Kingdom, and My crown!”
As the Father hath sent Me, so send I You.”

Matthew 28:18-20 says, “And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Lesson 13, 1st Quarter 2021 -Tuesday, Missionaries and Worship Leaders, 3/23/2021)
Many people think that life will get easier once they become Christians. But when we come to Jesus, He does not immediately bring us to carefree heaven. Instead, He sends us into a sinful world as His representatives, winning His victories by partaking in His sufferings. (Lesson 2, 3rd Quarter 2022 – Sunday, Missionaries and Worship Leaders, 3/23/2021)
We cannot avoid trial and the danger of failure and loss in this life, but we can take courage knowing that in every difficulty we may overcome just as Christ overcame. (Lesson 4, 2nd Quarter 2023 -Thursday, Revelation’s Overcomers, 4/20/2023)
