READY TO BE BOUND, READY TO DIE

Good and solid friends are difficult to find;

They won’t desert you when you are in a bind.

How wonderful to be blessed with true friends;

These are special gifts from God’s loving hands.

 

Friends are those who sincerely care;

They will uphold you in ceaseless prayer.

They will warn when there is danger;

They will weep, for they are not strangers!

 

Paul’s example of serving faithfully was clear to all;

He had indeed heard the Lord’s divine call.

He was not afraid to be bound and sent to jail;

His faith in the Lord would help him to prevail.

 

Paul was willing even to die for the Lord’s name;

Concerning his faith in Jesus, he was not ashamed!

What a wonderful example of faith the apostle Paul had;

To live for Jesus and to die for Him made his heart glad!
