Christ has made me bold enough,
So I can do the right thing;
To endure when times get tough,
Coping with what it may bring.
I would prefer an appeal,
Through the basis of the love;
That Jesus Christ would reveal,
And would flow down from above.
As a man now up in years.
And a prisoner of Christ;
I am without any fears,
Of ever getting enticed.
I ask you as my child,
As your spiritual father;
To remain being mild,
Being humble goes farther.
Once Christ was useless to you,
But now useful for us both;
All you have heard being true,
And gain your spiritual growth.
You can serve Christ where you are,
While spreading the Gospel;
Telling those both near and far,
Anywhere you meet people.
I did not want to do much,
Without having your consent;
But I like to keep in touch,
Not to start an argument.
Can you do me a favor?
By using your own free will;
Remembering your Savior,
Who inspires to instill.
No longer as a slave but,
Really better than a slave;
As a dear brother to what,
Being rescued from the grave.
Think of me as a partner,
Welcome each one that you meet;
Be kind to any foreigner,
Offering something to eat.
