The day I was leaving my old church to start a church plant, the people of the old church sang this song to us. I cry every time I hear this song 😭😢❤

[@theredleafinspirestrli5337]

How is your church plant doing?

[@zohrebrown]

"We bear the torch that, flaming, fell from the hands of those who gave their lives proclaiming that Jesus died and rose." Those words compelled me to a mission field where 100s had already died ... Many this song once again send 1000s more in their place.

[@topgun9587]

what mission field is that ?

[@zonkebellamkhomazi2977]

"I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do" (John 17:4). May Christ words be ours too !

[@KB-iz5du]

Amen

[@calvinvanderveen422]

If I'm not mistaken much of the tune to the four verses in this song (refrains aside) are from the Aurelia tune written by Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1864) and used most commonly in the hymn 'The Church's One Foundation' written by Samuel Stone. It would have been nice to see this acknowledged I think.

[@gracenmercy579]

Yes, a lot of people don’t know but some do!

[@katherinebrubaker7788]

the Gettys were commissioned to arrange this by OMF to celebrate some anniversary, either of OMF itself or of the song.

[@GahelM]

In French is admirable redeemer. We use to sing it in church when I was a child. However, these lyrics are also good, we don't have many songs encouraging the church to go for our commission. Blessings.

[@a.scottclement6967]

You would not me mistaken. The Church's One Foundation has always been the hymn that draws water from my eyes. This one fans the flame in my heart.

[@dwebb1935]

Can there be more beautiful words written to describe those who toil with zeal untired because there is no other Name that can save? I'm so moved to tears that my mouth moves to sing but there's no voice. Father who sustains us, send us forth on your errand =)

[@ninagaland2144]

I from Indonesian. i was here the moved. This song encourages and strengthens me to continue to preach God's love to people who don't know God. Thanks GBU🙏😇

[@refreshholidays6492]

Come Lord Jesus Come!! But may we finish the task in our lifetime.

[@aeromaximon]

The melody in this hymn is the same one used in the hymn's "The Church's One Foundation" and "Another Year is Dawning".

[@johndapianoman]

Thank you! I played this hymn at my church myself but I couldn't remember the name 😅

[@stephenrowell9373]

If you like Keith and Kristyn's music , you must get the album , Facing a task unfinished , it is superb , it is recorded live and I cant stop listening to it, I highly recommend it .

[@hinasohail8777]

Praise God.

[@reubenhuffman6307]

Kingdom hope unfurled! Thank you Keith and Kristyn for renewing this song with such stunning media and sound. This song and video stirs up the deep wells of joy and beauty in this daunting, unfinished task.

[@a.scottclement6967]

I am spearheading a pioneer work among rugged mountain people, ranchers, cowboys, men who are very strong, self-sufficient. We have reached a shift in what the work is demanding of us, moving from relationship building to spiritual warfare. Playing this tune on my violin a few days ago and reading the lyrics, my slothful ease was rebuked and I was reminded of those other lords (lower case "l") that still hold unhindered sway in these mountains. Time to gird up and saddle up. Thank you. Prayers appreciated.

[@TrinityHomeschoolMom]

Absolutely love the chinese musical instruments in the beginning of the song! So full circle because this piece was written about the mission in China and our brave brothers and sisters who lay their life down for Chinese. God is awesome!

[@Mintliam]

Trinity Grace Really? It is extra extra beautiful then ❤️ thanks for letting us know this

[@The_ren-odyuo]

So challenging a song especially with the background story of this song that bro Keith has shared somewhere else. Thank you for such inspiring lyrics. God bless you bro & sis. Love from India.

Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. Colossians 1:24 NIV This song captures the essence of this verse.

[@timmysixxstrings]

I just found this beautiful song. I love it!!

[@enutapantelie2835]

“Facing a task unfinished That drives us to our knees A need that, undiminished Rebukes our slothful ease We, who rejoice to know Thee Renew before Thy throne The solemn pledge we owe Thee To go and make Thee known Where other lords beside Thee Hold their unhindered sway Where forces that defied Thee Defy Thee still today With none to heed their crying For life, and love, and light Unnumbered souls are dying And pass into the night We go to all the world With kingdom hope unfurled No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ The Lord We bear the torch that flaming Fell from the hands of those Who gave their lives proclaiming That Jesus died and rose Ours is the same commission The same glad message ours Fired by the same ambition To Thee we yield our powers We go to all the world With kingdom hope unfurled No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ The Lord O Father who sustained them O Spirit who inspired Saviour, whose love constrained them To toil with zeal untired From cowardice defend us From lethargy awake! Forth on Thine errands send us To labour for Thy sake We go to all the world With kingdom hope unfurled No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ The Lord We go to all the world His kingdom hope unfurled No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ The Lord”

We also have a song on that melody, in Denmark (just not the chorus). It's called: Guds kirkes grund alene = The foundation of the church of God alone.

[@deborahsheahy5283]

Going to Honduras in june. What can God do with our work in a week. God allowing, we will see. Prayers.

[@terrapin8474]

@Eric Kramer I can't tell if you're joking or not? Could you explain why you believe this crap?

[@JamCamAbreu]

@@terrapin8474 Sorry that you came to this video and then said these things. I wonder what brought you to this video in the first place? I don't think these people are joking at all. We are sinners, and all deserve an ultimate misery for our faults. But Jesus came to this world and died for our sins. We celebrate this undeserving grace in song and prayer. I don't know what you believe in, and I'm not an authority to tell you what to believe in. So don't take it from me, or any of these other people. But I will urge you to find out the truth, without delay.

[@CHRAMmusic]

Amen. Who else likes that old hymn similar to this getty tune: "I know whom I have believed and I'm persuaded that he is able to keep that which I've committed unto him against that day" Banger

[@jeanm.2548]

Pretty song with lovely words, but the truth is 99.9% of American and European Christians couldn't care less about lost souls. Music like this sounds good but doesn't reflect the sad, true state of "Christianity."

[@seththomas3175]

Courtney Cannon my 2nd girlfriend hugged me today the entire bus ride back to Lampeter Strasburg high school she said I love you too much Seth I said love you more

[@jt9474]

The second verse is completely unbiblical Where forces that defied Thee Defy Thee still today - Psalm 110 - "The LORD says to my lord sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet" Unnumbered souls are dying And pass into the night - Revelation 7:9 - "there before me was a multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe people and language, sanding before the throne and before the Lamb".

[@jt9474]

also With none to heed their crying For life, and love, and light - Matthew 7:7 - "Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you"

[@dwebb1935]

​@@jt9474 Hope you don't mind me explaining: "Where forces that defied Thee Defy Thee still today" This refers to the very strong spiritual stronghold that the frontline field workers (and even supporting headquarters staff) face as they try to evangelise. In truth, Jesus has not returned just yet and so Satan is still actively the Prince of this world. For the time being! "Unnumbered souls are dying And pass into the night" Not sure if you are understanding the verse in Rev 7:9 to mean that every single person from the history of mankind are included in this multitude. I think what the verse really means is that the gospel will have spread to every nationality and culture far and wide, by the time the events of Revelation come to pass, so that there will be Christians found amongst each of those people groups. But it doesn't mean that every single person ever alive has been saved. It's a different kind of "all", logic-wise. Think of it like a variety pack of chips: You get some of each flavor, but not all that has ever been made. "With none to heed their crying For life, and love, and light" It's true that there are people who have died who never heard the gospel in their earthly lifetime. We don't know if God reveals Himself to those persons individually, just before they die or before they are judged. But we do know they suffer the earthly death without hearing the gospel (from us), partly due to our disobedience to God in faithfully obeying the Great Commission. ------------- Hope that might answer some of your questions. =) Have a great day and do take care! Stay safe.

[@visualpun650]

@@dwebb1935 Nice explanation. Hope more people read this. This song is far from being unbiblical. It is one of the few songs encouraging us to get off out of our pews and to go into places he is not known. I would say I am a bit cowardly like the song suggests, but I do try to lend support to career missionaries I know. We all need to be involved in the task.

[@wee0bird]

It's a real pity that the intro music and bits inbetween sound so much like something one would hear on worldly radio. It really retracts from the magnificence of the words in my opinion.

Yeah most of your songs are unfinished in the manner of half baked cliches about God and Jesus. I never heard a nicer tune put to such ridiculous words. Sorry.

[@debbiemcchesney7325]

I love many of the songs you have written but this one does not make the cut for me. You can do better. I like the tune of "THE CHURCHES ONE FOUNDATION" but I want to hum the tune and think of the original words. Writing new hymns is great but don't ruin old ones.

[@babasingapura]

The Facing a Task Unfinished lyric by Frank Houghton is not new; it's dated around 1931. The tune Aurelia is by Samuel S. Wesley and was originally composed for a different hymn, not The Church's One Foundation. My church has sung both Facing a Task Unfinished and The Church's One Foundation to this same tune since at least the 1980s.

[@joedrum8527]

Ruin the old ones? I hope I'm not too harsh but your lack of musical knowledge and history is obvious. Many old hymns have used same melodies with different lyrics.
