Paul writes a letter of life, dying on death row, insignificant to Rome
He writes to early Christians, His letter is a word today
He is unconcerned for his life, totally committed to our life, filled with Christ
Paul recounts his prayers for us, overflowing with the peace and joy of Jesus,

God is greater than any difficulty we will face, rejoice, we are filled with Christ
Do not fear, the Lord is in control, Jesus defeated death on the cross
What we do is not measured by size, Christ measures it; obedience is the key
Never quit, there will be many worldly reasons to quit, never quit

We are called by the Lord to minister in His name, Jesus died for us, He lives in us
Every day take joy and peace with you, Christ fills us with His love
Joy is for today, set aside failure; let Jesus heal your heart
Security is in Christ, not our money or circumstance, Jesus is the only answer

Jesus is Lord and He is with us, He has called us for His purpose
You count, Christ values your life, what you do for Him is priceless
Surrender you life to Jesus, He has called you in a unique and significant way
Bend your knee, give your life, Jesus is the right way, He loves you

Focus on Jesus, give Him your concerns; tell Him about everything you fear
Be about the Lord’s business; do something, never nothing
Learn to give, give, give more than you think you can, give all you have
Giving is central to growing; Jesus thrives in a giving heart

Paul died, you are alive; Paul’s word to you survives
It is a personal letter from death row; it speaks to your need and responsibility
Do not be fooled, following Jesus will require great humility from you
The only way you will succeed is to die to self and surrender to Jesus-He is Lord

The Lord remembered Noah and stopped the flood, HE remembered Abraham and saved Lot
He remembered Rachel and Hannah and gave them children
God remembered Israel and showered mercy on them, Jesus remembers you
He will not let you go, you will never disappear, Jesus loves you

David vowed to build God a home, God said no, be careful about what you vow
Our God is an awesome God, Jesus seeks us, Let Him have your heart
Life will change, no longer alone, Jesus will live with you
He will guide you, Jesus will equip you, the Lord has a plan for your life

Providence rules our day, we don’t know what will happen, the Lord does
Our community needs us, God indwells us, equips us to do His work
People need you, the Lord guides you, Jesus is our righteousness
Repent, change, be—-Lord hear us-we know He does

From the least to the greatest, we all come to the Lord the same way-through Jesus
Christ never turns us away, He takes us to the Father, He intercedes for us
Even when we are in sin, the Lord is calling us, come near, hear, Jesus is calling you
He wants you to know Him, He delivers us from our sin, let Jesus have your life

Bless us Lord, be with us today, outfit us to follow you, to serve you
Protect us in the face of great evil, tell us what to do
We know you Lord and we want to know you better, cleanse me from sin
Be with me Father, Use me Lord, thank you for being on my side, the Lord is good
