We always thank our God,
The Father of our Lord;
To whom we honor and laud,
Since He is loved and adored.
We thank Him for we have heard,
About your faith and your love;
That you possess in His Word,
As it flows down from above.
You have this because of hope,
Which is kept safe in Heaven;
For through each day as you cope,
You hold the faith as given.
Some time ago you had heard,
About hope in the Gospel;
Message of truth in the Word,
As conveyed to the people.
This Good News is present now,
And is producing results;
Spreading around to allow,
Change in the lives of adults.
You do know of His kindness,
How the Lord did take your place;
And gives you His blessedness,
After He has shed His grace.
I have told you of His love,
His Spirit He has given;
The prayers that you cast above,
If sincere reaches Heaven.
I have not stopped in praying,
That you not become flesh bait;
Caught by Satan when straying,
That could make you meet you fate.
I ask God to shine His light,
Through His spiritual wisdom;
For your knowledge and insight,
In coming from His kingdom.
I ask this so you will live,
The kind of life you belong;
His compassion to forgive,
So ill will does not prolong.
