Poetry

---

I greatly rejoice in the Lord,
That now at length you have revived;
Your concern for me not ignored,
Set for when the Lord has arrived.

You indeed are concerned for me,
But lacked the opportunity;
Having no foresight as to see,
And obscured with impurity.

Not speaking of being in need,
I have learned whatsoever state;
I am to be content indeed,
Regardless of what is my fate.

For I know how to be brought low,
Also knowing how to abound;
How the circumstances will grow,
That the resources can be found.

I have learned about the secret,
Of facing plenty and hunger;
The abundance not to regret,
Lessons learned when I was younger.

For I can do all things through Christ,
It is faith in Him who strengthens me;
In knowing what I sacrificed,
Stopping the blindness so I could see.
