Acts 12 1 thru 5
Herod's hand, it fell with might,
Afflicting those who walked in light.
James, the brother, met his end,
A martyr's fate, a twisted trend.
Seeing the pleasure in the crowd,
Peter then, was bound and bowed.
Locked away, a prisoner's plight,
Guarded closely, day and night.
But chains and bars could not restrain,
The power of prayer, a pouring rain.
The church united, hearts ablaze,
Beseeching God in countless ways.
While Peter slept, unaware,
Of angels near, answering prayer.
A divine rescue, swift and true,
God's faithful love, forever new.

First Thessalonians 5 16 to 18
Ephesians 6 to 8
Colossians 4 to 2
Acts 12 6 to 10
Rejoice always, without cease,
Pray continually, find inner peace.
Give thanks in all, for this we know,
Is God's will, in Christ we grow.
Pray in the Spirit, watch and plead,
For saints and all, in every need.
Devote yourselves, with hearts sincere,
To prayer, alert, with gratitude near.
The angel came, a light so bright,
As Peter slept, throughout the night.
Chains fell off, with gentle grace,
He rose and followed, from that place.
Gird yourself, and bind your feet,
Follow close, where pathways meet.
Through iron gates, they made their way,
God's hand at work, in bright array.

Acts 12 5
Matthew 18 20
Peter knew, with sudden start,
The Lord had sent His angel's heart.
Delivered him from Herod's hand,
And all the hopes the Jews had planned.
He went to John Mark's mother's door,
Where many gathered, to implore.
Rhoda answered, full of glee,
Peter's here It's truly he
They thought she'd lost her mind that night,
But Peter stood, in plainest sight.
God does immeasurably more,
Than all we ask or imagine for.
The church prayed on, with fervent plea,
Where two or three agree.
His presence there, a promise kept,
In unity, where faith has stepped.
