Dedication to the Lord

II Corinthians 8:1-5

We know of the grace of God as bestowed,
And with all of His mercy He has showed;
How can in great affliction have much joy,
Deep poverty but rich liberality to deploy;
For to their power that I bear the record,
Beyond their power of a willing accord;
Appealing in prayer for receive the gift,
By ministering onto the saints to uplift;
Doing it not for the selfishness to hoard,
Rather dedicating to the Almighty Lord;
A dedication and devotion in my dream,
Putting me as a player on God's team;
For in no way considered a glory hound,
By no means having a trumpet to sound;
Rather devoting of my time to our Father,
As well as praising our Heavenly Brother;
For I believe in His Word also in prayer,
Enough knowing that I am willing to share;
In dedication to the Lord that I am sure,
I never felt this much peace ever before.
