With God’s might* for ministry-effectiveness
We flourish in our church spiritual involvement
Progressing according to biblical commandment
Investing for everlasting heritage-productiveness.
With God’s might for discipleship continuity
We grow, maturing in His words of wisdom
Advancing the work of His kingdom
Learn from His mercy and truth’s bounty.
*Jeremiah 10:6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

Faced with daily multi-tasks’ pressure
we need God’s help of divine measure
making us fulfill each chore as great treasure
turning work-rigor into labour-pleasure.
Gripped by varied assignment strain
we seek Christ’s strength of productiveness gain
toward caring and sharing engagement terrain
though afflicted with impediment's pain.
Conquering futility of slothfulness' attack
through the Saviour’s power with His mercy-pack
we strive for achievement thoroughness of blessings' sack
against indolence slackness, making stewardship vigour lack.
Triumphing over procrastination blight
seizing championship in today’s functionality fight
we cling to God Who enables* by His might
thanking Him for today's accomplishments midst faith delight.
*1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.

You ask what my favorite color is.
“Green” I say.
Green is the color of renewal.
the color of charity
and of challenge.
It is the color of forgiveness
and of faithfulness.
of gratitude
and of grace—of generosity
and of goodness.
It is the color of prosperity
and of productiveness—of chance
and of change.
the color of dignity
and of dreams—of destiny
and of desperation.
Green,
is the color of life
before living taints it.
It is the color that I was...yesterday,
just before dawn.
