Be not afraid to testify,
About Jesus Christ our Lord;
While staying in one accord,
And in being loved and adored.

Share in the suffering of Christ,
Who called us to holy calling;
And how much He had sacrificed,
Might be considered appalling.

The Gospel that has been decreed,
That is calling by His power;
For His mercy which will succeed,
Gives purpose and grace each hour.

A holy calling in which He gave,
In Christ Jesus before time began;
Rescuing us as from the grave,
For every last woman and man.

This has now been manifested,
Through appearance of our Savior;
In ridding death as attested,
An afterlife to shine favor.

I was appointed a poet,
A preacher teaching the Gospel;
Never considered a prophet,
But to suffer for the people.

But I am not to be ashamed,
For I know what I do believe;
Convinced of what I have proclaimed,
For salvation that I receive.

Follow the pattern of the Word,
In the faith and the love of Christ;
Everything that you read and heard,
The Holy Spirit has enticed.
