For this reason, for this cause,
As a prisoner for Christ;
There is no way I can pause,
On the cross was sacrificed.
Assuming that you have heard,
Of stewardship of His grace;
That was given through the Word,
He has given His embrace.
How the mystery made known,
To me by a revelation;
For the things that Christ has shown,
Giving us a foundation.
As I have briefly written,
And all of that you have read;
As others that have smitten,
The Holy Word being fed.
You can perceive my insight,
In the mystery of Christ;
Which is shining a pure light,
For many who are enticed.
But was not made known to men,
Of other generations;
Now it has been revealed when,
Those who build their foundations.
Gentiles are fellow heirs,
As partakers and members;
In all that the Gospel shares,
As to what life encumbers.
I was made a messenger,
Sharing of the gift of grace;
You become a passenger,
So, transgressions can erase.
I have been a humbled saint,
For grace was given to preach;
An unsearchable restraint,
Being able to outreach.
For bringing to light to all,
Of the hidden mystery;
For catching us when we fall,
As Adam in history.
The eternal purpose of Christ,
In whom that we have boldness;
To be heavenly enticed,
Trusting in faith to access.
