Amsterdam's Paulus Potter
picturing cattle*no-one was hotter
An expert also at Still Life
a genre at the time most rife

Dissiepels

Net soos Noag, David & Abraham
word dissiepels van die ware lam.
Net soos Johannes, Lukas of Filamon
leer die word en vertrou net op Hom.
Leef soos Titus, Markus & Daniël
wys vir almal dat God maak ‘n verskil,
of
wees dan net soos getroue Job,
die beste dienaar van onse God.

As jy is soos die kind van God,
dan hoop ek jy besef –
 jy’t ‘n baie groot job
Vertel die mense van onse
 PA.
Wees ‘n voorbeeld en hou op 
om te kla.

Sing ‘n lied van Salemo
en help die volk om dan te glo.
Vertel hulle almal van Matteus
En openbaar aan hulle God se heilige gees.

Jy weet Paulus het vir God om die aarde geloop, sonder ‘n staf of selfs ‘n stukkie brood.
Só moenie nou word soos die Romeine,
want jy berhoort aan God – Ja jy is syne.

Kry die doop & breek die brood,
bly in Hom & vrees nooit die dood.
Die koningkryk van die Hemel het gekom,
so maak seker dat als wat jy doen is net vir Hom.

Wees opreg soos ‘n duif,
Dan sal jy vir ewig bly in ons Vader se huis.

Resurrection of Paulus

Timothy, I've risen 
Out of death prison 
Out of darkness 
I was chained 

Tied down and beheaded 
Decapitated 
I've risen and grew
Away I flew 

I was enchained 
Restrained
I suffered 
On a perfect grade

Endured 
Forbeared
Stomached
Afflictions 

Sadness
Grief distress 
Accepted 
Fullness dirtiness

Love's capable and powerful
Good invaluable treasure
Untreated, Integer
I'm word of love now

I reign with love now 
Royal - no wicked doubtful broken
Unscrupulous failed perverse mind
I have a clean conscience 

I thank love 
which I worship 
Due to love
I stand and do not slip

Timothy, I've risen!
