Teachers of Great Worth
Teaching well, verily mentoring with their best
Engaged to build lives to the fullest
Ardent in vanquishing instruction pest
Carving hearts for servant-leadership training quest
Hoisting faith toward great service-crest
Educators are they with God’s empowering zest
Raising us, students, to follow Christ midst challenging test
Strengthened by the Master Teacher for service-gear from east to west...
Offering their lives to the Lord, verily blest
Fervently, they inspire us along excellence-finest…
Granting biblical sessions of maximum breadth’s widest
Rescuing us from folly’s fall and selfishness-vanity tempest
Exemplifying prudence for righteous choice, indeed wisest
Affirming and assuring truth according to Scriptures’ behest
Taking us to tread path of kindness against hypocrisy’s jest…
Working hard to brace learners like me for perseverance harvest
Ordering discipleship skills’ optimization, spiritually grandest
Reinforcing love-driven willingness --- motivation that’s heavenly highest
Tremendously influencing me; they are our teachers dearest…
Here am I now: a teacher, devoted to rear another teacher*, faithfully earnest.
*2Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
