Story behind the song
This song was composed on 4/24/2025. Paul has begun his 2nd missionary journey, along with Silas. In Derbe, he found a young believer named Timothy, who he brought along with him on this missionary journey. You may also discern from v.10, that Paul also met Luke (the author of this book) in Troas, and he joined him for the rest of the journey (The pronouns change from 3rd person to 1st person starting in Acts 16:10.)
Lyrics
1Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek.
2He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium.
3Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
4And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.
5So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.
7After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.
8So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."
10Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
