Analysis of Persevere in Ministry
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
This ministry by His mercy,
That we never have faint of heart;
And continue to oversee,
The Gospel as we all impart.
But we have renounced hidden things,
As dishonest and disgraceful;
We refuse of what evil brings,
Being crafty and deceitful.
But the open statement of truth,
Your conscience in the sight of God;
In avoiding being uncouth,
Would be causing you to be flawed.
Our Gospel of Christ is veiled,
To many who are perishing;
They have become lost and have failed,
That believers are cherishing.
The god of this world has blinded,
The minds of the unbelievers;
Causing them to be misguided,
And brainwashed by the deceivers.
We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord,
And each of us as His servant;
For His sake be in one accord,
Having a love that is fervent.
Let the light shine out of darkness,
Shining out the light from your heart;
Knowledge exposing the starkness,
And causing evil to depart.
