I thank God through Jesus Christ,
Because of the faith proclaimed;
Through Him who was sacrificed,
And I will not be ashamed.
God is my witness whom I serve,
My spirit in the Gospel;
Giving courage and the nerve,
Proclaiming to the people.
I always ask in my prayer,
If His will lets me succeed;
Everything that I share,
Giving others what they need.
For I long to see that day,
Impart some spiritual gift;
That you no longer will stray,
And your spirit will uplift.
Through the faith of each other,
Mutually encourage;
For you being my brother,
I wish not to discourage.
I want you to be aware,
That I want not to offend;
On anything that I share,
For telling true I intend.
For there is no time to sleep,
And time to harvest the fruit;
In order that we may reap,
We have to start at the root.
I have an obligation,
To the Greek and gentile;
For offering salvation,
By changing their lifestyle.
So, I am eager to preach,
To the foolish and the wise;
To continue my outreach,
No matter if they despise.
Because I am not ashamed,
To live by faith righteously;
The power of God proclaimed,
To all continuously.
