I am a captive of Christ,
On behalf of the Gentiles;
Because I have sacrificed,
In my toils and trials.
Assuming that you have heard,
The stewardship of His grace;
Has been given through the Word,
That I cherish and embrace.
The mystery is made known,
To me by revelation;
A vision flowed from His throne,
About our salvation.
As you are reading these words,
You can perceive the insight;
Why we must be the stewards,
Bringing mystery to light.
It was not made known to men,
In other generations;
Through holy prophets by then,
In the clear revelations.
The mystery is that pagans,
Actually, fellow heirs;
Calming down the hooligans,
By the speaking of who shares.
This Word is not sinister,
Rather a gift of His grace;
Why I am a minister,
The Gospel that I embrace.
I am the least of the saints,
Through His grace it was given;
But I never have complaints,
Know I will be in Heaven.
To bring light to anyone,
Of the plan that is hidden;
That is revealed through the Son,
And no longer forbidden.
Through the church shows the wisdom,
Through the rulers been aware;
The power of His Kingdom,
That God is willing to share.
We have an eternal goal,
With boldness and confidence;
That faith runs through our soul,
And giving us a defense.
