EPISTLE TO PHILOMEN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

based on the writings of St. Paul


Brother in Christ
hearken to me
hear my advice

for in paradise
In Him we live
As the beginning

I know that Philomen has done you a wrong
You must be strong
And in your heart forgive him

Give up your slave
So that both he and thee be saved
And you'll find
Peace of mind again

Perhaps he's gone
not for no reason
just for a season

and perhaps you're wrong
yet for love's sake
say it with grace

for he
shall be blessed
not as a slave
but as belov-ed

I know all men shall be as brothers again
when the world ends
but till then let's be brothers

twas meant to be
that we should all be loved and free
pray with me
and we'll fly away

I am a prisoner a captive of what
I'm afraid of
I know that I am nothing
without love
