See the letters I am writing,
Writing to you with my own hand;
Being someone who is fighting,
Against critical race demand.
It is those who would want to show,
The color of flesh that would force;
The persecution what some know,
Of not having any remorse.
But we are just one human race,
Regardless or not circumcised;
The cross of Christ should be embraced,
By all who laud the crucified.
For no one ever keeps the Law,
As they will continue to boast;
Glory in the flesh makes a flaw,
Not confessed for the Holy Ghost.
God forbid that I should glory,
Except in the cross of the Lord;
Anything derogatory,
I considered it be ignored.
Circumcision counts for nothing,
But faith makes a new creation;
Because for your belief will bring,
Eternal life and salvation.
As for all who walk by the rule,
Peace and mercy be upon them;
Judgment comes to those who are cruel,
In which our Lord will condemn.
Henceforth let no one trouble me,
For I bear the marks of the Lord;
Because I know that God will see,
I am walking in one accord.
May the grace of Christ our Lord,
Abide and be with your spirit;
His blessings to anoint be poured,
For the effort of your merit.
