This is my Heart (2 Corinthians)

This is the Heart of a minister /
This is the my heart in a letter /
Verse 1
This is my heart upon a letter /
I had concerns since the last time we were together /
The God of comfort comforts me ,  I comfort others /  1:3-6
Our sufferings shall never keep us from comforting our brothers / 1: 6
No doubt we had a sentence of death within ourselves / 1:9
But God gave comforting grace and gave an escape / 1:10
But our physical afflictions are that of Christ glory / 4:10-11
Its for us to relate and share in faith / 4:10-11
Have not my conduct with you been above reproach / 1:12
And those who question my heart for you, their pretty much a joke/
I will reaffirm love, you can affirmative that /
Be sure to forgive others and restore the sinning man back / 2:7
Cuz we are an aroma of life to those who are in Christ /  2:16
But an aroma of death to the perishing type / 2:15
Even then do we need to commend our work /  3:1
Have we not been there to heal your hurts /
Our recommendation is that you’ve been redeemed / 3:2
Being transformed into the image of the glorified King / 3:3
They want you veiled, condemned in the dark / 3:14
But you’ve received the spirit and its written on your heart / 3:3,14
Hook
Verse 2
We have renounced hidden thing because of the shame / 4:2
Its sad some want to do this because of the fame /
And they want to say our message is veiled / 4:3
That because they’ve been blinded by the passions of Hell / 4:3-4
But we hold his treasure in earthenware / 4:7
So we could be crushed and not despair / 4:8
We relate in the body with his death / 4:10
So that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our flesh / 4:10-11
On earth this affliction brings out an urgency /
Not to be compared w our glory for eternity / 4:17
Don’t get me wrong Im not boasting in I / 5:12
I rather bie and be in the presence of Adonia / 5:6
But we are here to be ambassadors on the earth / 5:20
Foreigners to the world our embassy’s the church /
Do not take in vain the grace of him who received us / 6:1
And do not be bound together with unbelievers / 6: 14
Give them no reason to discredit you worth / 6:3
For what fellowship does the world have with the church / 6:14-16
Hold no grudge with us we could not spare the rod / 7:2
If sorrow has lead to repentance then praise God / 7:10
Hook
Verse 3
I have comfort to hear of you and your repenting / 7:9
But let not these teachers hinder you in giving /
Other churches are eager to help in ways that are financial / 8:3-5
My prayer is that you would eagerly follow their example /
Ive boasted of your readiness for a year/ 8:10, 9:1
Give from you heart not from the pressure of your peers/ 9:7
They say I’m bold in letter meek in face / 10:1
If I boast in anything I boast in grace / 10:17
If they can boast, I can boast in position / 11:22
If they can boast, I can boast in tradition / 11:22
I can boast in my physical condition / 11:23-27
Afflictions , shipwrecked by sea ,stoned and beating / 11:26
I can also begin to boast in the vision / 12:1-7
The glory of paradise that I saw with precision / 12:4
But if I’ve seen the vision God made a decision / 12:7
To put a thorn in my side, but his grace is sufficient / 12:9
So if I’m unimpressive its for glory of the LORD / 11:6, 12:9
Me being humble is the whole purpose of the thorn / 12:7
And since you want evidence of my power in the Son / 13:2
Next time I come I will not spare anyone / 13:2
Test yourselves to see if your in the faith / 13:5
Cuz a runner knows he’s running if he’s in a race /
Finally brethen complete and like minded / 13:11
Live in peace and GOD’s love will keep united / 13:11
