We Are the Ones

I consider my life worth nothing to me
If only I may finish the race
And complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me
The task of testifying to the Gospel of God’s grace
Now I know that none of you whom I have gone
About preaching the Kingdom will ever see me again
Therefore I declare to you that I am innocent of the blood of all men
For I have not hesitated to proclaim the whole will of God
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock
To which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers
Be shepherds of the church, of God, which He bought with His own blood
I know that when I leave savage wolves will come in among you
And will not spare the flock
Even from your own number men will arise
And distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them
So be on your guard
We are not the wolves at the gate, we are the ones who face them
