Be under the authority,
Of any spiritual leader;
Becoming your priority,
As a biblical feeder.
All of you must serve each other,
With humility as humble;
Be not rude to one another,
Be cheerful and do not grumble.
Be humble by the might of God,
And He will shine His grace on you;
Confess and He will mend where flawed,
As His glory shines all day through.
Turn your anxiety and cares,
Over to God keep your mind clear;
He gives care to when someone shares,
In order to calm any fear.
So be vigilant and alert,
Because the enemy awaits;
And will be ready to convert,
If worthy and accentuates.
Your opponent is the devil,
Prowling like a roaring lion;
Always thinking about evil,
Devouring all of Zion.
Be firm in the faith and resist,
Knowing that others must endure;
His plan continues to persist,
And tempting with another lure.
God shows you all of His kindness,
He has called you through Jesus Christ;
His eternal glory will surely bless,
Anyone who has sacrificed.
It will restore and strengthen you,
Making you strong as it supports;
As you suffer it sees you through,
Frees you from judgment in the courts.
