Poetry

---

We give thanks unto the Lord,
Always for all of you;
For being in one accord,
Knowing that the Word is true.

We mention in our prayers,
Remembering our God;
About the Father that shares,
The cure for where we are flawed.

Your work of faith and labor,
Through the steadfastness of hope;
Showing love to your neighbor,
Comfort in times that you cope.

For we know that God chose you,
Because of all that you heard;
Enables you to construe,
As is written in the Word.

And through the Holy Spirit,
Power of full conviction;
Within all of your merit,
Until your benediction.

For you know what kind of men,
That among you for your sake;
Are imitators that when;
The foolishness that they make.

Imitators of the Lord,
You receive much affliction;
And they all must be ignored,
To counteract addiction.

You became an example,
To all of the believers;
Adhering to the Gospel,
As salvation receivers.

For not only has the Word,
Has sounded forth out of you;
Ensuring that it is heard,
For some others to pursue.

Your faith in God is spreading,
Has gone forth everywhere;
Round the earth it is heading,
For other people to share.

Praise Him in everyplace,
While waiting for His Son;
Shining His amazing grace,
Everything He has done.
