('Earth has many  noble city')

2 Timothy Chapter 2 parts

********

Be strong in the grace that is in

Christ Jesus, who dwells within

Us by His Spirit residing

Grow more like Him in each thing

 

See examples shown naturally

In this world in which we be

Be as a discipling teacher

In word, deed, and as preacher

 

Be as single-minded soldier

Of Christ, let naught you deter

Seeking to please God who makes you

Of His army a part true

 

Be as husbandman* enduring (*farmer)

Planting, tending to each thing

Eating fruit of produce before

Labouring in duties sure

 

Be as a workman diligent

Study truth with good intent

And so teach wholesomely, wisely

Not ashamed, but share freely

 

Be as a vessel set apart

Seeking after Father's heart

Having value, honour, prepared

God's purposes with you shared

 

Be as gentle servant, lowly

Christ's life show expressively

He our Master, with Him all share

With everyone everywhere

          The Lord, your Lord
          Who takes hold of your right hand
          And says you
          Do not fear my child,
          I am with you....

            to be or not to be, that is the question .. I think given the options available, I would opt for the husbandman .. one knows where one sands with husbandmen .. and if you can't beat em, then why not join em ....................................... N
