Barnabé

It's not right for us to live well while others suffer
Even more so when you know what to do and don't do it
As a result of Christ's love, a result of his commitment
The man sold what he had and shared it

His name was Barnabas, a native of Cyprus
Also known as Joseph of Consolation
A good and pious man, full of fervor and faith
Man of God

And when Saul converted to Christ, he lacked friends
Someone who could be a companion, a source of comfort and shelter
As a result of Christ's love, a result of his commitment
A man went to find him, offering a helping hand

And when the church spread to every corner there was
Providence, yes, by God's hand, reached Antioch
Needing a shepherd of souls, even a shepherd of men
They went to find the one who was qualified
