Tito

After ten years in jail

For but his belief
When his faith almost failed
Hope came of release

A Christian cellmate...
A name that he knew...
Friends... it is not too late!
His ill health helped, too!

Fifteen years in all
Till he was set free
This was a miracle
The church his family...

He started a new life
To live without fear
Sustained in Christ's light
And was full of good cheer

He learned patience in trial
Hope's influence is great
Receiving help all the while

Yes! Great things await

Then, was it by chance?
That a cousin found him
A changed circumstance
His father's days grew thin

Could he come say goodbye?
His father now sought truth
For Christianity, a sign
Tito's coming was his proof!

The father who once had claimed
His son was dead in his home
Was no longer ashamed
But sought to know his son's hope!

2. He changed his name to Tito (Italian version for Titus)-Titus was an early Christian leader, a companion of Paul the Apostle, mentioned in several of the Pauline epistles. He is believed to be a gentile converted by Paul to Christianity and, according to tradition, was consecrated by him as Bishop of the Island of Crete. Titus brought a fundraising letter from Paul to Corinth, to collect for the poor in Jerusalem. Later, on Crete, Titus appointed presbyters in every city and remained there into his old age, dying in the city of Candia (modern Heraklion).^[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titus_(biblical)
