Power For Service

We by the Scriptures learn the vital source

Which gave Paul power to keep the upward

course.2 Timothy 4.

He who communed with God, midst Arab sands, Galatians 1.17.

Was by Gods power upheld in many lands.

Obedient to his Lord, his Master, Friend,

The Gospel spread until he neared his end.

To Rome he goes, his race is well-nigh run, Acts 28.14.

To tell of Christ in Rome's Praetorium.

He writes, as Christ's ambassador in chains, Ephesians 6.20.

To Timothy, to fight and suffer pains.

He knew the bitter hatred of man's heart,

Of brethren false, who failed to play their part. 1 Timothy 1.20.

He who had died with Christ, and thus was free,

A slave in sin's domain no more would be. Romans 6.

quickened and raised in life with Him,

who died That sinners might from sin be justified.

Shall we such great salvation then neglect? Hebrews 2.8.

Shall patience not its gracious work perfect?James 1.4.

Shall not the Spirit lead us in the road

To purity and holiness to God?

And at His throne to yield as potter's clay,Jeremiah 18.4.

To His good will and His commands obey?

Thus in our walk before an evil world,

God grant us grace to keep His flag unfurled,

And in our walk of faith, may men now see

A life of Christ-like love and purity.2 Corinthians, 11.8.

And raise our voice, and sing in heavenly strain

Of Christ, and for m count all else as vainPhilippians 8

And follow where He leads and Him adore

Who died and lives for us for evermore.Revelation 1.18.
