I am asking you to show,
Gratitude to your leaders;
Appreciate for what they know,
As knowledgeable feeders.
I am asking to love them,
Thinking highly with respect;
Try not ever to condemn,
Their ideas do not reject.
For the work every day,
As to what they are doing;
Need many people to pray,
For what they are pursuing.
Live in peace with each other,
Observe how they are living;
Teach your sister and brother,
While being forgiving.
Never try to discourage,
Assist them when they are weak;
Cheer them up to encourage,
Solutions that they may seek.
Remember to be joyful,
As you never stop praying;
While remaining faithful,
To God what you are saying.
Control your own desire,
Lock them up after have sealed;
Feel the heat from His fire,
Scorn not what God has revealed.
May the God who gives you peace,
Make you holy through each day;
And that temptation will cease,
Intercession as you pray.
Greet your sisters and brothers,
Promoting them the good will;
Greet with a kiss to others,
Or holy hugs to instill.
So continue to rejoice,
And praying without ceasing;
While lifting up your voice,
As your faith is increasing.
