Yes, I will rejoice for I know,

Because going through our prayers;

Letting the Holy Spirit flow,

Deep within for blessings He shares.

 

For my eager expectation,

And hoping not to be ashamed;

But courage in explanation,

With all of which I have proclaimed.

 

Let my body will honor Christ,

Whether it is by death or life;

Never in becoming enticed,

From earthly pleasures bringing strife.

 

For to me to live is in Christ,

And as by dying is to gain;

Through all that has been sacrificed,

And that will be easing the pain.

 

For in the flesh I am to live,

With the means of fruitful labor;

Knowing that the Lord will forgive,

All because He is my Savior.

 

Yet which I choose I cannot tell,

Being hard pressed of between two;

For the desires where I dwell,

To depart from what I construe.

 

Being with Christ is for the best,

But in the flesh, I still remain;

Knowing that God will help my quest,

For progressing of His campaign.

 

For I am convinced, and I know,

That I remain and continue;

For the joy in the faith will flow,

In knowing of all that is true.

 

So that in me is ample cause,

For the glory of Jesus Christ;

Sends His Spirit to cleanse my flaws,

That were caused from being enticed.
