Poetry

---

I thank Him who gave me strength,
Because He judged me faithful;
Appointing at a great length,
To serve for I am grateful.

For I was a blasphemer,
Persecutor and opponent;
Mercy through a Redeemer,
Making me a proponent.

For ignorant unbelief,
But His grace has overflowed;
With faith had given relief,
Love of His glory has glowed.

The saying is trustworthy,
Deserves full acceptance;
Of something He would decree,
No more with resistance.

Jesus came to save sinners,
With mercy for this reason;
New life as the beginners,
Believing what has been done.

Unto the eternal King,
The immortal and wise God;
The glory that we will sing,
Praising to honor and laud.

I am entrusting with you,
To commit to prophecy;
The wage of warfare is true,
For the Christian legacy.

Holding trust and good conscience,
Rejects faith that is shipwrecked;
When having love and patience,
Belief that God will resurrect.

I have given to Satan,
Some to learn not to blaspheme;
That their thinking will straighten,
So that the Lord will redeem.
