I hope that the Lord will allow,
Me to give you encouragement;
Endue you to honor your vow,
To the Lord of your commitment.
I do not have another soul,
That I can put my hope and trust;
With real interest as their goal,
And in being both fair and just.
All others look after their own,
And not after the ones of Christ;
Rather than honoring His throne,
They desire what has enticed.
But you know what kind of man,
That I am and always have been;
Following the Lord and His plan,
You have heard it time and again.
Just like both the Father and the Son,
We have been working together;
Ensuring victory is won,
For as many souls can gather.
Together we spread the Gospel,
Not that we must but we choose;
Proclaiming to all the people,
About the glorious Good News.
I have been desiring to see,
But I am feeling very sick;
Please pray for me that I will be,
That wellness will come around quick.
I was so sick and almost died,
But God had mercy upon me;
As I prayed I had also cried,
For my agony He could see.
I am especially eager,
To get well and then come to you;
Preaching to the souls that hunger,
While making others construe.
