"Salvation [is] ready to be revealed in the last time.... of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently.... which things the angels desire to look into. Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 1:5-13).
Prophets foretold of the grace we would find
Within this salvation they searched and inquired.
Oh what a privilege to gird up our mind
To look into things even angels desired!
Gird up the loins of your mind's motivation,
Steadfast and ready to share the good news.
So may the Gospel with its preparation,
By sharing God's peace, be girded as shoes.
Prophets foretold with unerring detail
The sufferings of Christ to purchase salvation.
The glory they spoke of shall surely not fail
When Christ shall return at His revelation.
Let us then gird up our mind and be sober;
As stewards of grace we are debtors to all.
So may we find when our short life is over
That we were thus girded and true to our call.
