Strength

This was the closing prayer poem from my sermon Spiritual Strength: 3 Ways to Stay Strong in Suffering for the Gospel. July 7, 2024. First Chinese Baptist Church, Walnut, California.


Strength

Strength inside my heart

Strength inside my lungs

In persecution, suffering

The race of faith we run

Remember Jesus Christ

As risen from the dead

The son of David, King of Kings

The word of God made flesh

Endure in ministry

Eternal glories come

We witness and we work until

We reach our heavenly home

We trust God’s faithfulness

His glory will be full

The Lord is sure to save, for every

Word of God proves true

And on that final day

We’ll cross the finish line

It was not I - but grace in Christ

That strengthened all this time
