A Glorious Portrait

A Glorious Portrait
I am glad to suffer for you,
With what my poetry can do;
The pen mightier than the sword,
While I am praising the Lord.

I am not one for being grim,
But suffer on behalf of Him;
Became a servant of the church,
In living life I had to search.

That is when God gave me the quest,
To start writing my very best;
Telling the story in the Word,
Until everyone has heard.

It may seem like old history,
That God hid such a mystery;
But now has gone and has revealed,
All the Scriptures that had been sealed.

For God wanted all on the earth,
To share the riches through rebirth;
And each one have Christ live within,
After being cleansed from all sin.

So I spread the message of Christ,
About all that He sacrificed;
For wisdom and insight I see,
And how His power works in me.
