Analysis of Barnabus



I want to be a Barnabus;
"Son of encouragement".
He helped Apostle Paul discuss
Why they from God were sent.

Evangelism was their goal,
So, all could know the Lord;
Eternal life for Christian souls
With God, their faith's reward.

At times, some men were so afraid
To trust God with all things,
So, Barnabus both talked and prayed
They'd love the King of Kings!
