If there is encouragement,
In Christ a comfort of love;
You must have acknowledgement,
That it is flowing down from above.
Intimacy in the Spirit,
Affection and sympathy;
Required in your merit,
Should never have apathy.
My joy should be in same mind,
While having the same love;
Full accord being aligned,
With Heaven up above.
Have no selfish ambition,
Or being filled with deceit;
Humbled with your admission,
Confidence is made complete.
Look not just on self-interests,
Also interest of others;
On what both of you entrusts,
For your sisters and brothers.
Let this mind be within you,
Which is yours in Jesus Christ;
Remembering what is true,
And not becoming enticed.
He was in the form of God,
Did not count equality;
But grasped to honor and laud,
For heavenly quality.
He made no reputation,
A servant in taking form;
Accepted condemnation,
Thirty three years after born.
In human form being found,
Becoming obedient;
Until heard the nailing sound,
Death had been expedient.
His name more than other names,
As every knee shall bow;
Each tongue confess and proclaims,
Non-believers disallow.
