PHILEMON

 Paul writes to Philemon, friend so dear

With gentle words to calm & cheer

He speaks of Onesimus, once lost & gone

Now found in Christ, a new life drawn

“Welcome him back, no longer a slave

But as a brother, the Lord can save

Though he once wronged you, now he’s restored

Through Christ’s great love, we are all adored”

Paul humbly asks, yet speaks with grace

For unity & peace in every place

He offers to repay what might be owed

But trusts your heart, your love showed

“This letter is written not by command

But by the urging of my hand

For love, for Christ, for bonds renewed

For hearts transformed in gratitude”

He prays for joy & fellowship sweet

For love & faith in every seat

May Philemon, Onesimus, & all they meet

Reflect God’s mercy in word & deed

Paul closes with blessing, prayer, & care

For hearts to flourish, souls laid bare

In Christ we stand, in Christ we rise

United forever beneath the skies
