The suffering of present time,
Are never worth comparing;
Being revealed as people climb,
With the glory through the sharing.
For creation eagerly waits,
In longing for the revealing;
As the Son of God compensates,
About what had been concealing.
The creation was subjected,
Unwilling to futility;
Because of Him hope rejected,
Having lack of humility.
The creation will be set free,
From its bondage to putridness;
And obtain the freedom to see,
Of the glory of wickedness.
We know that the whole creation,
Has been groaning all together;
As leading to the foundation,
In the agony we gather.
For not only the creation,
Having firstfruits of the Spirit;
Groan inwardly for salvation,
For the reward we inherit.
Because in this hope we were saved,
For hope that is seen is not hope;
Because the sin that has enslaved,
Causing a conflict how to cope.
If we hope for what is unseen,
We wait for with our patience;
Instead of than what that has been,
From the thoughts out of your conscience.
His Spirit helps our weakness,
For not knowing what we should pray;
Since we do not have the meekness,
As the Spirit guides our way.
He who searches hearts knows the Spirit,
Those who love God work for the good;
Together for through your merit,
As justified for what you should.
