Now I want you to know,
What has happened to me;
Which way that I will go,
What my eyes are to see.
His Word is the result,
Advance of the Gospel;
Some call it an insult,
Deceiving the people.
But it has become known,
Bonds in Christ manifest;
Anyone did atone,
That has gone and confessed.
Captivated by Christ,
Prisoner of the Lord;
My heart and mind enticed,
Can never be ignored.
Most sisters and brothers,
Have gained the confidence;
Dare speak unto others,
As dauntlessly intense.
Some preach Christ out of strife,
But others of good will;
Showing envy in life,
As they do to instill.
One preach of contention,
Not sincerely of love;
Because their intention,
Not incited from above.
Defense of the Gospel,
Others proclaim of Christ;
More as an example,
Of someone sacrificed.
So, what does it matter,
Just that in anyway;
Fake news on a platter,
Or true words to obey.
For I know where it leads,
As rescued through your prayer;
A nourishment that feeds,
And showing that you care.
Because living is Christ,
And to die is a gain;
Desire is enticed,
In a life with no pain.
