The Worth of a Soul

The worth of a soul is seen in its price, The price that was paid on Calvary’s cross.
We see in Christ’s infinite sacrifice, The true calamity of a soul’s loss.
We cannot over-value one soul’s worth; Its price was paid with blood.
The precious Son of God came down to earth –Jesus was the only One who could.

Only His innocent blood could atone, For one sinner’s evil and vice.
He had to bear the burden alone; No angel could pay the price.
He chose to bear the guilt and pain, Represented by His cross.
Jesus moved forward, despising the shame, In order to save all the lost.

So give Him your heart, O valuable soul! Forget all the pleasures of this earth.
Return to Christ what the devil stole; Jesus paid for your infinite worth.
And how could you not surrender to Him, Who bought you by anguish and tears;
Who died to save you from your own sin? He’s been begging you all these years.

And finally, soul, what have you done, To help other fallen souls;
To lead them to the Father’s throne, Where all can be cleansed and made whole?
When you speak to those who you know best, What is the effect of your words?
At the end of the day, have they been blessed? Have you pointed them to the Lord?

Do you pray for and with your straying friends, To guide them back into the fold?
Do you care what will be the effect in the end? Or is your heart just too cold?
Does your influence testify to your faith? Do your actions and words honor God?
Or are you just playing the Christian game, Pretending to walk where He has trod?

What is the value in playing this game,

If you are a Christian only in name;

If your life leads your loved ones to believe,

That religion doesn’t matter in reality;

And your words and actions have them deceived,

So that they think lightly of eternity?

What will be the result in the end?

The loss of a relative, neighbor, or friend?

Will you sell your own soul for this earth?

Do you not understand the actual worth…of a soul?

The worth of a soul is so great, you see, That nothing can outweigh its cost.
So there lies a burden on you and me, To seek to save all who are lost.
Now we cannot save them all on our own; We need the Holy Spirit’s aid.
But do not despair! We are never alone; God’s plans have already been made.

He plans to save you, and all who you love;

You must only seek for His leading.

He has mansions prepared in Heaven above.

In the most holy, Jesus is pleading…for your soul.

So where will you stand in the end?

Just wherever you go,

Jesus wants you to know,

That you will take a friend.

So remember… the worth of a soul.
