I encourage you to make,
Petitions and intercessions;
For God will never forsake,
When making your concessions.
Prayers of thanks for all people,
For all presidents and kings;
They remember the Gospel,
The goodness that Jesus brings.
Pray they have a peaceful life,
In having a reverent way;
Wisdom to handle the strife,
That bombard them through each day.
It is good and pleases God,
To be saved and learn the truth;
Worship to honor and laud,
Never becoming uncouth.
There is one God and Savior,
One mediator for man;
Through Christ, God shines His favor,
Making us part of His clan.
Christ was sacrificed for all,
To free us from our sin;
Picking us up whence we fall,
For purifying us within.
I was appointed to spread,
This Gospel while I teach;
About faith and truth instead,
Convincing as I beseech.
I am not telling a lie,
Rather truth to make you free;
That just Satan would deny,
By being too blind to see.
I want men to offer prayer,
With hands raised and walk the path;
Burdens of the heart to share,
After putting aside wrath.
I want all women to show,
The beauty on how they dress;
With having a modest flow,
That the Lord would surely bless.
