Joy-Filled Service

Abiding in God’s will, let’s serve the Lord with joy

Beautified through His grace to minister along gladness-glow

Cheered up midst Scriptures’ truth, smiting hypocrisy and deceit 

Delighted by the Almighty’s blessings toward stewardship-triumph

Empowered for fruitful compassionate reaching-out

Fortified to encourage upon strengthened faith

Girded, guided, geared up against human frailty’s endurance

Hoisted as held with Christ’s omnipotent and gentle grip

Invigorated, ceaselessly fervent around Holy Spirit’s revival

Jubilant, gratefully testifying: “Our labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

*1Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
