Prayers

---

I thank God to whom I serve,
Giving me a clear conscience;
Along with courage and nerve,
Persevering with the patience.

I remember in my prayers,
Constantly through night and day;
All of the woes and the cares,
That seems to have come your way.

I remember all the fears,
Wished that they were filled with joy;
For chasing away the tears,
That have come out to destroy.

I remember the faith held dear,
That is dwelling deep within;
Continues to be sincere,
Guarding against any sin.

Remember to fan the flame,
Given as a gift from God;
As you go out and proclaim,
Show how to honor and laud.

God gave us a spirit,
Not of fear rather of love;
Powering our merit,
Having self-control thereof.

Be willing to testify,
Never ashamed of the Lord;
What He did do not deny,
Remaining in one accord.

For the power that you share,
From God through suffering;
For the Gospel shows you care,
Able to give buffering.

For, at one-time sin enslaved,
Until a holy calling;
And Jesus Christ came and saved,
From our vicious falling.

It was not for our deeds,
Rather for purpose and grace;
Granted for the unseen needs,
Before time came to embrace.

The Holy Spirit dwells in,
Guarding the good deposit;
Entrusted that you begin,
Sinful acts to inhibit.
