If I carry the gospel to the lost near and wide
?????

I won't leave behind and unfinished task. (sung by the Hemphills years ago)

UNFINISHED TASK

I

IF I CARRY THE GOSPEL TO THE LOST NEAR AND FAR
I WON'T STAND EMPTY HANDED AT GOD'S JUDGEMENT BAR.
BUT I DARE NOT RELAX UNTIL I'VE DONE ALL HE ASK
LEST I SHOULD LEAVE BEHIND AN UNFINISHED TASK.

II

IF I HAVE WRONGED A BROTHER IF I HAVE WOUNDED A FRIEND
GIVE ME STRENGTH PRECIOUS SAVIOR TO MAKE AMENDS.
AND WHEN I COME TO CHANGE MY WORLDS AND REACH GLORY AT LAST
THEN I WON'T LEAVE BEHIND AN UNFINISHED TASK.

III

WHEN I COME TO THE CROSSING I'LL BE LEAVING BEHIND
ALL MY EARTHLY POSSESSIONS BUT THIS I WON'T MIND.
IT WOULD MAKE MY HEART GLAD WHEN I LEAVE ALL I'VE HAD
IF I DON'T LEAVE BEHIND AND UNFINISHED TASK.

CHORUS

OH YOU HAVE RUN THE RACE YOU HAVE KEPT THE FAITH
THESE WORDS I LONG TO HEAR MY SAVIOR SAY.
AND WHEN MY LIFE ON EARTH IS PAST
THERE'S JUST ONE THING DEAR LORD I ASK
DON'T LET ME LEAVE BEHIND AND UNFINISHED TASK.

Thank you, I have been looking for this for my husband. He sings at church and wants the music to many songs but has had no luck in finding them. Do you know how I can get the accompaniment tape or cd to this song?

AN UNFINISHED TASK

If I carry the gospel. To the lost near and far.
I won't stand empty handed, at god's judgment bar.
But I dare not relax, until I've done all he's ask.
Lest I should leave behind, an unfinished task.

Oh you have run, run the race, you have kept the faith.
These words I long to hear my savior say.
And when my life on earth is past,
There's just one thing dear Lord I ask,
Don't let me leave behind, an unfinished task.

If I have wronged a brother. If I have wounded a friend.
Give me strength precious Jesus to make amends.
And when I come to change my worlds, and reach glory at last.
Then I won't leave behind, an unfinished task.

Oh you have run, run the race, you have kept the faith.
These words I long to hear my savior say.
And when my life on earth is past,
There's just one thing dear Lord I ask,
Don't let me leave behind, an unfinished task.

When I come to the crossing I'll be leaving behind.
All my earthly possessions but this I won't mind.
It would make my heart glad when I leave all I've had
If I don't leave behind an unfinished task.

Oh you have run, run the race, you have kept the faith.
These words I long to hear my savior say.
And when my life on earth is past,
There's just one thing dear Lord I ask,
Don't let me leave behind, an unfinished task.

Oh you have run, run the race, you have kept the faith.
These words I long to hear my savior say.
And when my life on earth is past,
There's just one thing dear Lord I ask,
Don't let me leave behind, an unfinished task.

Don't let me leave behind, an unfinished task.

The Hemphills did indeed sing this song. LaBreeska nearly blew the roof off when she hit one those higher notes.
