V5.5

[PRE-CHORUS — v.11]
Never be lazy, keep the fire,
Fervent in spirit—undeterred.
Serving the Lord with all my heart,
Let my life match my words.

[CHORUS — vv.12–13]
Rejoicing in hope,
Patient in trouble,
Steady in prayer.
When Your people are in need, make me ready to help—
Practicing hospitality everywhere.
Rejoicing in hope,
Patient in trouble,
Steady in prayer—
Let sincere love be the song I wear.

[VERSE 2 — reinforce]
Cling to what is good when it costs me,
When it’s easier to walk away.
Honor looks like open hands,
Making room, making space.
Devotion isn’t loud—it’s daily,
It’s showing up, it’s staying near;
Love that doesn’t just feel holy,
But lives sincere.

[CHORUS — ]
Rejoicing in hope,
Patient in trouble,
Steady in prayer.
When Your people are in need, make me ready to help—
Practicing hospitality everywhere.
Rejoicing in hope,
Patient in trouble,
Steady in prayer—
Let sincere love be the song I wear.

[BRIDGE — generosity + hospitality]
If I’ve got bread, I’ll break it,
If I’ve got time, I’ll spend it.
If I’ve got a home, I’ll open it—
No strings, no hidden sentence.
Teach me love that moves my feet, Lord,
Not just words I say—
A table set, a burden shared,
Your kindness on display.

[PRE-CHORUS — v.11]
Never be lazy, keep the fire,
Fervent in spirit—undeterred.
Serving the Lord with all my heart,
Let my life match my words.

[Outro- ]
Serving the Lord with all my heart,
Let my life match my words.
