True Power


I come not with excellent speech,
Rather plea as well as to beseech;
Not for letting it be ignored,
The testimony of the Lord.

For I determined not to know,
Anything about whence you go;
But ensuring I never lied,
The News about Christ crucified.

I want to help when you are weak,
By giving you the truth you seek;
Even in much trembling and fear,
I assure you that God is near.

In my speech and how I preach,
Is to ensure that I do teach;
But never with persuasive words,
Nor with magic like the wizards.

But to demonstrate the Spirit,
The power that we inherit;
And part of Christian history,
Which is not any mystery.

Your faith should never be on men,
Relied on again and again;
Rather in the power of God,
To whom you should honor and laud.
