But you must go on your way.

To tell the truth another day.

Amazed when I do see.

To believe and repent.

Searching for what it all meant.

So who am l.

To now deny.

Though crippled and defamed

Forgiveness I have claimed.

Come dine with me today.

When men in disbelief.

Treat you like a thief.

Then you see they are blind.

Perhaps you should be kind.

For you never do know.

Where Lord will tell you to go.

To open their eyes.

For him to weaponise.

To go forth and proclaim.

Salvation in his name.

Phillip and Ananias.

Acts 6-7. cost

The word is well known.

Is my purpose in life alone.

Yet part of me should give.

That others a good life live.

Then the day will surely come.

When I can explain to everyone.

The journey man did take.

In following God, then the fake.

That nothing has changed today.

Still throw real truth away.

They will hate what they hear.

I’m filled with faith not fear.

As see the Lord above.

Looking down on me with love.

Even as they would kill.

And a Paul stood, standing still.

Lord l ask that you forgive.

That they might repent and live.

When go to foot of the cross.

Amazing works some others said.

Will not be allowed.

But we only bowed.

We will never relent.

Give one hundred percent.
