God used John, the Baptist,
Who left his home and good past;
Left the religion of his age.
He turned from the oldness,
And spoke the Word with boldness,
“Repent and leave this crooked age.”

God needs the overcomers,
’Our dear Lord Jesus’ lovers!
Make us those who live to turn the age!

God called Saul of Tarsus,
For His own plan and purpose,
Who became Paul, the apostle;
He saw a heav’nly vision,
Where there is no division,
In the one Body of the Lord.

God called Timothy, now,
Like-souled with Paul, who knew how
To pray and be soaked in the Word;
His spirit fanned into flame,
Lord, make my spirit the same,
An overcoming man of God!

Amen. Make us Christ's bride and God's age turners. He is the one who lets us overcome, overcome the fall of man!!! I like this line in the hymn:
"Make us those who live to turn the age"

This is a powerful song. I have to sing it at least three times with a stronger spirit each time just to come up to the standard of singing this song. We need songs like this to help us fan our spirits into flame, to not be passive, but strong and active in spirit to resist the oldness and cooperate with the Lord to carry out His move.

Lord Jesus, I love You.
Thank You that You need the overcomers to turn the age for for the fulfillment of Your purpose.
I choose to be an overcomer with my family and with all the saints. Please keep our hearts to love You more and more each day.
Very wonderful song!
