Whoever is strong must support the weak,
While not giving ourselves any pleasure;
So everyone has the opportunity to seek,
The Heavenly Kingdom and its treasure.
We must give pleasure to our neighbor,
In making each of us stronger in spirit;
Christ did not take time from His labor,
For some self-indulgence as He saw fit.
Writings we learn from before our time,
Gives a quiet comfort so we have hope;
Through our tree of life that we climb,
On branches of tribulation that we cope.
God gives you the strength and peace,
While you patiently wait for that day;
When life as we know on earth to cease,
And with Christ on the Heavenly pathway.
We become in one mind with each other,
As well as being with Christ in harmony;
Speaking with one mouth as our brother,
No longer plagued by torment or agony.
