Worth Waiting For. Imagine the worth of what you waiting for, When the promise that you hold is worth so much more. Many times you value much thats worth nothing at all, Working hard your life it’s time now to answer the call. If only a matter of time and you realize that you’ve paid a price! And it’s only a matter of time when the price you pay will take your life… You’ve been called to take your life, and pour it out for the sake of love! Invest in a brother and faith grows strong, till he sees the need to invest in another! Answer the call let love of the Father, carry you on with the best gift you can give, If you do you fulfill the call to all believers, if you fail you fail to give life to a brother, And you may be the only one who has the chance to save his life!
