Tune: "O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing"

Verse 1:
Paul was a pris-o-ner in Rome.
A guard was by his side.
But friends could come and vis-it him,
And this ser-vant al-ways tried

Verse 2:
To tell of Je-sus and His love
To those who came to hear,
And some be-lieved the words of Paul,
Bu-t oth-ers were not near.

Verse 3:
Some heard but nev-er un-der-stood,
Saw, but did not per-ceive,
They closed their eyes and stopped their ears
For they just would not be-lieve.

Verse 4:
I'll o-pen up my heart to-day
God's mes-sage to be-lieve.
With eyes to see and ears to ear
Je-sus Christ I will re-ceive.

Thank you for giving of your talents in helping struggling sunday school teachers to teach their children about Jesus. I was looking for the story about Onesimus who ran away from his master Philemon. Philemon was Paul's friend and so when Onesimus ended up in Rome as Paul's friend and became a christian too, Paul set him back to Philemon with a letter asking Philemon to forgive Onesimus and to take him back. You have the story of Paul in prison so I will just need to add on from there I guess.
