Barnabas, a beacon in the night, Shining bright with heavenly light. A good man, his heart was pure, With the Holy Ghost, he could endure. Faithful servant, strong and bold, A story in his life unfolds. He walked with God, his spirit soared, And many souls to Christ he poured. The Lord's embrace, a warm delight, Guiding steps, both day and night. His words like seeds, they gently sow, In fertile ground, the spirits grow. A testament to love divine, In every action, truth align. He built a bridge, with grace and care, Inviting all, God's love to share. Shine the light, let it gleam, Living waters, flowing stream. Like Barnabas, we'll stand so tall, Answering the Savior's call. In faith and truth, we will abide, With the Holy Spirit as our guide. Use us, Lord, to spread your Word, Let your message be heard. From Jerusalem, they sent him forth, To Antioch, to prove his worth. Reports of Gentiles, turning new, Barnabas arrived, to see it through. He saw the work, the Spirit's hand, God's grace unfolding, across the land. Rejoiced in faith, a joyful sight, As more were added to the light. Full of the Spirit, day by day, He walked in God's intended way. Submissive heart, a willing soul, God used him, making spirits whole. The church expanded, strong and wide, With Barnabas, as their trusted guide. His legacy, a shining beam, A testament to God's grand scheme. Shine the light, let it gleam, Living waters, flowing stream. Like Barnabas, we'll stand so tall, Answering the Savior's call. In faith and truth, we will abide, With the Holy Spirit as our guide. Use us, Lord, to spread your Word, Let your message be heard. Use me, Lord, as Barnabas of old, A story of faith to be told. Lead many souls to your embrace, Fill them with love, and endless grace. I pray to yield, to Spirit's call, Through sacred Word, I give my all. Let guidance flow, in every deed, Plant seeds of faith, fulfill each need. In every step, your presence near, To speak your truth, and banish fear. In every moment, I'll be true, To act for you, in all I do. Like Barnabas, I'll stand so tall, Responding to your beck and call. A vessel pure, for you to mold, A life of faith, a story told. Acts 11 24 Use me Lord, as you used Barnabus, to lead many to you, I pray. Help me submit to the Spirit's leading, which comes through your Word, that I may be ready to speak and act for you in every situation that arises. In Jesus name, Amen.
