Take Care
In God’s loving kindness---
Take care of yourself first
…settled in His graciousness
While you share His goodness
Of blessings’ bountifulness.
By God’s supreme authority---
Take care of yourself first
…acknowledging His Word’s certainty
For you to teach with integrity
His truths’ infallibility.
Thru God’s sure direction---
Take care of yourself first
…upheld by His protection and instruction
Before you help the needy in their affliction
Toward triumphant problem-solution.
With God’s perfect wisdom---
Take care of yourself first
…guarded by His granted freedom
As you lead others to His kingdom
From vanity’s boredom.
For God’s praise---
Take care* of yourself first
…enclosed in His wondrous grace
In proclaiming the Gospel devoid of doubts’ trace
Testifying about redemption and eternal life’s brace.
*1Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
