Stir up the Gift of God

Let the grace of God in you,
Give a power of virtue;
That will give you the insight,
To always remain upright.

For God did not give us fear,
Nor being a puppeteer;
Rather having self-control,
For the mind and the soul.

He gave us power and love,
As a blessing from above;
As to care for each other,
Just like sister and brother.

Never have feeling of shame,
The Good News that you proclaim;
Or some doubt that would be toward,
Witnessing for our Lord.

Undergo in the measure,
The Gospel as a treasure;
Salvation as a reward,
Inherited from the Lord.
