  It was recorded That thru the preaching of Paul A woman was converted.  The woman's name was Lydia, A seller of purple; She was loving and kind, Gracious and hospitable. She lived in Thyatira There with her household; More than anything they wanted The Gospel story be told. Lydia, seller of purple, Had a great role to play In sharing the Light With the people in her day. She sold exquisite fabric Dyed in expensive purple; No doubt she used her means In spreading the Gospel. I've often wondered if the Fabric of Christ's purple robe That He wore before Herod Came from Lydia's abode. Earlier in Acts Chapter 16 We read that Paul had a vision To go into Macedonia With the Gospel Commission. The apostles brought the Light To the land's length and breadth Else the people be doomed To their eternal death. Today, the Gospel must go To the lands of the heathen; It is the good news Of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let's follow the example Of this woman named Lydia And spread the Gospel Throughout the media. And let's not grow weary In our labor of love To gather the jewels For a golden crown above. Copyrighted © Lydia Haga 2004
