Manner in which Preached

I was gentle and very kind,
With having such a peace of mind;
While in the midst around you,
From each and every day through.

As a nurse treasures a child,
Within her arms tender and mild;
Giving dearly and loving care,
To a calm blessing laying there.

I was very well pleased to impart,
The Gospel I etched in my heart;
For showing how much in control,
Jesus Christ has over my soul.

He became very dear to me,
For now I have insight to see;
The number of my mistakes in sum,
And the vision of what will come,

I understand and now regret,
But confessed and no longer fret;
Of what I have done in the past,
Into the sea Jesus did cast.

So now I work both night and day,
Looking to the Lord as I pray;
For the burden is gone from lust,
Since it is Christ that I now trust.

So I preach the Gospel of God,
Teaching how to honor and laud;
Giving you my personal touch,
For the love that He has so much.
