Analysis of Grace Strong
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Be strengthened by the grace,
That comes from Jesus Christ;
Allow Him to embrace,
Whose life was sacrificed.
What you have heard from me,
Trusted to faithful men;
Have testified to see,
To teach others often.
Share in the suffering,
Being a good soldier;
Feeling His buffering,
Not to be a stranger.
No man gets entangled,
In civilian pursuits;
For becoming strangled,
Anyone who refutes.
To strive to be supreme,
Yet you have not been crowned;
Since it being a dream,
Corruption had been found.
The hard-working farmer,
To partake of the fruits;
Before those with armor,
The army of recruits.
Think over what I say,
God gives understanding;
Stop temptation to stray,
What earth is demanding.
