Masters must be fair and just,
Their master is in Heaven;
Allow slaves to build their trust,
Reward with credit given.
Keep steadfastly in your prayer,
Offer prayers of thanksgiving;
Pay attention what you share,
Be sincere for your living.
Pray for us at the same time,
As you pray without ceasing;
That we are able to climb,
To the top vim increasing.
Pray that God gives us a chance,
Unto us opens a door;
Being able to advance,
Giving new realms to explore.
May I get the chance to speak,
The mystery of the Word;
The truth that others might seek,
But who may have never heard.
Let me tell them about Christ,
My secret as a captive;
That stopped me being enticed,
So I can righteously live.
Pray that I may make it clear,
And I make it manifest;
I ought to speak so sincere,
Such gracious words in my quest.
This is what I have to do,
Able to follow His lead;
Convey what I know is true,
Show others how to succeed.
Be wise in the way you act,
Walking in wisdom towards them;
Righteously using tact,
Do not prejudge or condemn.
All things you say should be kind,
Letting your speech be with grace;
Gracious words will ease the mind,
Comforting when you embrace.
