Don’t worry o’er God’s every plan, | Ac 1:1-7 |
Just the one he has for you, man. | Ac 1:8-11 |
The traitor’s gain was fast erased, | Ac 1:15-20 |
By lot and prayer he was replaced. | Ac 1:21-26 |
The Spirit came like howling wind. | Ac 2:1-3 |
They spoke so crowds could comprehend. | Ac 2:4-21 |
Then Peter preached what God devised: | Ac 2:22-35 |
To change your heart and be baptized. | Ac 2:36-41 |
Peter taught, then in Jesus’ name, | |
healed a man who since birth was lame. | Ac 3:1-26 |
Experts said they were a bother. | Ac 4:1-18 |
Heed not humans, but the Father. | Ac 4:19-22 |
They prayed to be both brave and wise. | Ac 4:23-31 |
They grew in faith and strength and size. | Ac 2:42-47 |
Believers all lived side by side. | Ac 4:32-37 |
One couple lied to God, then died. | Ac 5:1-11 |
The Word spread quickly, more believed. | Ac 5:12-14 |
The sick and vexed were both relieved. | Ac 5:15-16 |
The high priest jailed them with a smirk. | Ac 5:17-18 |
God led them out and back to work. | Ac 5:19-25 |
Confronted by the council still, | Ac 5:26-28 |
by Pharisees who fought God’s will. | Ac 5:33-39 |
So Peter testified again, | Ac 5:29-30 |
to change your heart, repent your sin. | Ac 5:31-32 |
Then Stephen, picked to dole out food, | Ac 6:1-7 |
Did speak the word of God when cued. | Ac 6:8-7:53 |
And as his eyes toward heav’n did reach, | Ac 7:54-56 |
the council stoned him for his speech. | Ac 7:57-60 |
Though strewn, the church preached as they went, | Ac 8:2-4 |
and Philip taught where he was sent. | Ac 8:5-7, 9:26-40 |
and by the laying on of hands, | Ac 8:14-25 |
the Spirit came to foreign lands. | Ac 10:17-48 |
A vision gave St. Pete the nod | |
of grace for all who worship God. | Ac 10:1-16 |
Then James was killed by Herod’s scheme, | Ac 12:1-5 |
who died ignoring Elohim. | Ac 12:19-23 |
Now Saul wreaked havoc on the Way, | Ac 9:1 |
till traveling the road one day, | Ac 9:2 |
When Christ appeared in heav’nly light, | Ac 9:4 |
He questioned Saul and took his sight. | Ac 9:4-9 |
To Gentiles, kings and Jews God reached. | Ac 9:10-16 |
Once chief tormenter, now Paul preached. | Ac 9:17-31 |
He silenced those preventing growth. | Ac 13:1-12 |
Explained how Christ fulfilled God’s oath. | Ac 13:13-52 |
From town to town he preached the news. | Ac 14:1-7, 21-28 |
Some would accept him, some abuse. | Ac 14:8-20 |
His team went where the Spirit led | Ac 16:1-10 |
From riverbank to prison bed. | Ac 16:11-40 |
Explaining Jesus’ sufferings | Ac 17:1-15 |
to those who worshipped manmade things. | Ac 17:16-34 |
In Athens, Corinth, and Achaia, | |
Scripture proved who was Messiah. | Ac 18:1-28 |
As God made all who touched Paul cured, | Ac 19:11-12 |
He stayed two years till all had heard. | Ac 19:8-10 |
The pattern often was the same: | |
He’d come to town, spread Jesus’ name, | Ac 20:21 |
Speak fearlessly in every place, | |
the gospel of our good God’s grace. | Ac 20:24 |
Some would believe and get the Spirit. | Ac 19:6 |
Others though refused to hear it. | Ac 19:23-41 |
Performing miracles divine, | Ac 19:7-12 |
He’d comfort Christians, then consign | Ac 20:2 |
Them to the Lord, and off he’d run | Ac 20:36 |
to the next town, God’s will be done. | Ac 21:14 |
And knowing trouble lie ahead, | Ac 20:23 |
Friends begged “Go somewhere else instead”. | Ac 21:4, 21:12 |
But God’s will Paul did not resist, | |
Jerusalem was on the list. | Ac 20:22 |
The mob, to anger was enticed | Ac 21:30 |
By those who would deny the Christ. | Ac 21:27-29 |
Before they could inflict death’s pains, | Ac 21:31 |
the military came with chains. | Ac 21:32 |
One last time Paul was arrested. | Ac 21:33 |
To the crowd he still attested: | Ac 22:1-21 |
"Christ suffered, died and rose again | |
To bring light to all girls and men." | Ac 26:23 |
Four years in jail, his final chapters: | Ac 24:27, 28:30 |
Transferred, shipwrecked, calmed his captors. | Ac 27:1-44 |
In Rome, with visits under guard, | Ac 28:16 |
He preached of God and Christ unmarred. | Ac 28:31 |

God has offered you salvation. | Ac 28:28 |
