"And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul; for as thou hast testified of Me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.... Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned him to speak, answered... I do the more cheerfully answer for myself" (Acts 23:11, 24:10).
Where did Paul find his unquenchable cheer
To finish his task so opposed and so large?
Jesus Himself was the One who drew near;
"Be of good cheer," was His comfort and charge.
Where did Paul find the wisdom to speak
With grace to respond in that difficult hour?
Jesus Himself, when His servant was weak,
Drew near to impart to him wisdom and power.
Where do we find this cheer for the heart
With wisdom and power to finish our course?
Jesus Himself still has grace to impart;
Yes, Jesus Himself is our infinite Source!
