Working together with the Lord,
I appeal to you to receive;
The grace of God not be ignored,
That in your faith that you believe.
For in a time He will listen,
In that day comes for salvation;
He will assist you to glisten,
That your faith builds a foundation.
I put no detour in your way,
So that no fault ever be found;
That would be causing you to stray,
Which void you to be Heaven bound.
As servants of God we commend,
Great endurance in afflictions;
The ability to defend,
Against all of your convictions.
The riots and the sleepless nights,
The Holy Spirit gives His love;
While keeping you in His sights,
As the Father watches above.
By truthful speech powered by God,
With the weapons of righteousness;
Keeping you from becoming flawed,
As He speaks to your consciousness.
Through your honor and dishonor,
Through the insult, slander, and praise;
You must remain as a fawner,
While living through all your days.
As for the unknown and dying,
We live as punished yet not killed;
Be skilled to see through the lying,
Lets the darkness to be instilled.
As sorrowful, yet rejoicing,
As poor, yet many making wealth;
That you praise the Lord by voicing,
When having a spiritual health.
