[Intro]
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy
To the church of the Thessalonians
In God the Father
And in the Lord Jesus Christ

How you doing? Welcome, well, we're going to be going through the letter that Paul sent, so, let's get into that, did you bring the letter? Alright here it is, and it reads...

[Verse 1]
Grace and peace, take a seat, hey let's get into this mayne
It's been a minute, so let's get it, cause I'm amped on His name
Now as you all know, Paul wrote, and said he couldn't wait to see us
He said he tries but I quote, Satan still impedes us
So man until he can make it we read the letters he sends
That says we're not forsaken even when oppression begins
So let's begin with the fifth lesson for today and tomorrow
Cause Paul answers questions you have about today and tomorrow
And whether or not the Savior's coming back today or tomorrow
Instead of sharing the time he exhorts us to pray and stay watchful
It's easily seen like signs of a pregnant woman who shows
And the thief in the night, it's no surprise if you watch and you doze
So tomorrow's worries weaken when we waiting with hope
Anticipating His arrival keeps you ready for sure
Lesson four can bring us more of an insight to this section
Especially when we start discussing the dead's resurrection
Remember Paul wrote, those who are sleeping
And passed on won't be passed over so stop the grieving
For if we believe in Jesus Christ and that He's still living
We also believe He'll take those who are asleep as Christians
So the topic of tomorrow is not my concern
Just a fact He's coming back and that He's soon to return
Now with that on my mind it makes today so crucial
Cause the God who's coming back desires to live through you
[Chorus]
You took the Word as it is
Let His love be fruitful then
Your works of faith and love so
Keep the faith
It'll get a little harder
It'll get a little rougher
But there is hope in His promise so
Keep the faith

[Verse 2]
Now I know you wondering how this affects us today mayne
But you need the background to be effective today mayne
Do you remember lesson two when Paul called us his crown
His boast before the Lord cause we was holding it down
Cause we heeded to the lessons that he taught to the crowd
So much so we all decided we would take our idols down
And the news began to spread fast all over town
From our people to their people and the towns that surround
We proclaim the name of Jesus while we walking around
And it's crazy cause our neighbors started following us 'round
Lesson one gives the reason why we all in this now
God predestined He would save this Thessalonian town
He elected us for truth and Paul strolled into town
Without the gospel as a lifeguard we all would have drowned
In the sins of men and trends that be bogging you down
We were homeless with no family like a dog in a pound
Till God decided to go looking through the lost and the found
And He spared us from His wrath that He'll be calling down
Don't you get it, we did, that's the reason why we missing
Paul was like our father who taught us all how to be Christians
Like with the motherless, he nurtured us and showed us his vision
He loves us, that's why when he prays we're constantly mentioned
So the call for us today is we continue his mission
Long to lead a quiet life and to attend to your own business
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
There is joy in the firmness of your faith
There is life in you embracing His grace
So keep praying, rejoicing in thanksgiving, and loving and patience
And just keep the faith
There is hope in His return and that He will come
There is peace in the promise of His love
So keep praying, rejoicing in thanksgiving, and loving and patience
And just keep the faith

[Verse 3]
So in conclusion for today I say continue in faith with love
Hoping in the day that God will snatch us away
Be an example for the saints that we find in Achaia
Standing strong no matter what, reproducing the Savior
Cause the joy of a teacher is when his students can grasp it, it's mastered
And we live on through you training up the masses
And honor your leaders in love, appreciate their work
Servant leaders making disciples as we create the Church
Remember to exhort and comfort to alleviate the hurt
And run from every form of evil to not deviate the Church
So we imitate the saints and the God that we serve
There is still great afflictions that can rattle your nerves
And this life will get so trife and it'll throw you a curve
And there is people who live evil feeding the sexual urge
So be holy, living solely, for His glory
Possessing your body rightly in the purity that He showed us
Cause no matter how much we grow or no matter how far we go
We still can do some more, even if Timothy gave a good report
So let's continue to work in labor and enduring this race
Eagerly hoping for the moment we will see His face
[Outro]
We constantly remember before our God and Father
Your work produced by faith
Your labor prompted by love
And your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ
