STANDING THERE
Paul was standing there
Seeing all the pain
Knowing Rome’s fame
Realizing his life was at an end
Yet Paul loved Christ
He listened to His advice
Obedient to the last
Living under God’s control
Often left alone
Feeling fear’s cold hand
Bending his heart to Christ
Living as Jesus called
He talked a lot with Christ
Even made mistakes
But Paul never erred long
His focus was on God’s throne
That was the place he called home
Jesus never left him alone
Everything Paul did
Was done before the Lord
Trusting in God’s Word
Claiming strength from Him
At last Paul’s battle done
He summoned all his friends
Telling them all Christ had done
Calling them to follow Him
