Enduring Life’s Hardships
Yet despite persecution
Face hardship and suffering
May Jesus, be exalted
Be His sacrifice , a holy offering.
Encouragement
Yes, be an encourager
With a Barnabus heart
All are called to encourage
Not criticize, tear apart.
Earthen Vessels
So dear saint, do not focus
On outer flaws, your external
Know God searches hearts
‘Tis our soul, that’s eternal.
Contentment
Yet contentment is found
In Christ, our true rest
Satisfied, despite trials
Knowing God, seeks our best.
Burdened for Freedom
Set free from all bondage
From rituals, religion
Customs, convention
Worldliness, and tradition.
Be Strong and Courageous
Be strong and courageous
Obey the Lord God
Fulfilling His Word
Without needing a prod.
