I rejoice in the Lord,
Now at length you have revived;
Your concern not ignored,
Until Christ has arrived.
You indeed were concerned,
But not having a chance;
As to what I have learned,
As we spoke un advance.
I speak being in need,
Because what I have learned,
Be content to succeed,
In the salvation earned.
I know to be brought low,
And how to be abased;
For a heavenly glow,
The feel that Christ embraced.
I know how to abound,
Circumstances I face;
Picks me up from the ground,
All because of His grace.
For I have learned the secret,
Facing hunger and need;
But will never regret,
Salvation to succeed.
Since I can do all things,
Through Christ in giving strength;
Knowing what sharing brings,
Persists to a new length.
That in the beginning,
For knowing the Gospel;
Stopping you from sinning,
Cheating other people.
In partnership with me,
Giving and receiving;
With the insight to see,
Wisdom for believing.
Not that I seek a gift,
I seek fruit to increase;
A payment to uplift,
With the promise of peace.
God will supply all needs,
In the glory of Christ;
With the riches that feeds,
That Jesus has enticed.
