Poetry

I thank God, Father of the Lord,
Through Jesus Christ I pray for you;
Who has been loved and adored,
Always remains faithful and true.

Since I heard of your faith in Christ,
And of the love for all the saints;
No longer becoming enticed,
By earthly things with no restraints.

Because of hope laid up for you,
That is waiting up in Heaven;
Having heard knowing it is true,
Of the Gospel that was given.

It has come for in the whole world,
That is bearing increasing fruit;
Since the day that God has unfurled,
Understood grace of His statute.

A faithful minister of Christ,
As a beloved fellow servant;
On His behalf being enticed,
For having a love as fervent.

He has made known to us your love,
Declaring love in the Spirit;
For the blessings from up above,
Knowing what you will inherit.

I have not ceased to pray for you,
To desire that you be filled;
With the knowledge as to construe,
Spiritual wisdom be instilled.

Walk that is worthy of the Lord,
Bearing fruit and fully pleasing;
While being in one accord,
Continued flow never ceasing.

May you be strengthened with power,
According to glorious might;
Grant endurance not to cower,
As you are walking in the light.

Give thanks unto our Father,
Who has qualified you to share;
That redemption through your Brother,
The forgiveness of sins you share.
