Paul's Exhortation To All Believers - 1 Corinthians 11: 1
The apostle Paul here brings his word
addressing those seekers to follow God
speaking here with confidence and boldness
living the life of God he will plod
Paul here shows Christ's approval of him
for he calls all that to God profess
to indeed walk keenly in his steps
for Christ's approval they should confess
The apostle himself shows his faith
for to please the Christ is his aim
so he points others to likewise direction
that they follow with similar flame
His exhortation comes from a full heart
telling his followers to also follow
keenly towards the ever living Christ
for that road brings no sorrow
So indeed heed Paul's true word
make it your absolute inward desire
to go after Christ for evermore
proving yourself with godly fire
('Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.') 1 Corinthians ch. 11 v. 1 (ESV)
