We will always thank God,
Having each one of you;
When you honor and laud,
Of the God that is true.
We will remember you,
Every time we pray;
That God will see you through,
Guiding you not to stray.
Good will and peace are yours,
Because of our Lord;
Avoid something that lures,
To stay in one accord.
Be in the presence of,
Our God and Father;
Blessing us with His love,
Comes through our Brother.
For your faith is active,
Your love is working hard;
And very attractive,
That always stays on guard.
Confidence in the Lord,
Is one that must surpass;
That Jesus had endured,
Remaining clean as glass.
We will never forget,
Knowing that God loves you;
And means to clean the debt,
That will purify through.
For the Good News we brought,
Not only in the Word;
What His power has wrought,
Everything as heard.
You imitated the Lord,
In spite of suffering;
Joy not to be ignored,
As He gives buffering.
You must wait for His Son,
To return from Heaven;
Finish what had begun,
For the next life as given.
