Serving a Purpose

Acts 20:24-28

I put no real value upon my life,
If only that in the end I shall see;
The work I started to end all strife,
Of what the Lord Jesus gave to me.

Merely a messenger as a witness,
Of the Gospel of the grace of God;
Shewing the way to His forgiveness,
And showing Him honor and laud.

I have written about His Kingdom,
As well as poetry about His grace;
While guiding me with His wisdom,
Until that day I gaze upon His face.

So I say unto you on this very day,
I have been cleansed from the blood;
And I never leave any shades of gray,
On all the reason that I firmly stood.

Please pay attention to the entire flock,
That the Holy Spirit put in your care;
Ensure the church is solid as a rock,
Filling the needs in fellowship to share.
