Always find your source of strength,
From kindness in Jesus Christ;
To persevere any length,
When you are getting enticed.
You have heard my whole message,
Verified by witnesses;
Entrusted to encourage,
When a problem surfaces.
Entrust this message to reach,
Faithful individuals;
That are competent to teach,
Wanting to learn rituals.
Join me in the suffering,
Like a good soldier of Christ;
He assures the buffering,
If you start to be enticed.
If you serve in the army,
It pleases the commander;
Strengthen your heraldry,
Instead of a bystander.
Who enters competition,
Wins when paying by the rules;
While a politician,
Continue to be the fools.
A farmer should have first share,
As be given to the Lord;
Showing God that you do care,
Never let Him be ignored.
Always think of Jesus Christ,
As being brought back to life;
After He was sacrificed,
Enduring through all the strife.
This is the Good News to preach,
Why I suffer in disgrace;
Spreading the Gospel to reach,
On how God has shed His grace.
I endure it for the sake,
Those who have been selected;
As spiritually awake,
And part of the elected.
