Poetry

---

Put to death your worldly sin,
Perversion passion and greed;
To stop corruption within,
For God supplies what you need.

Because they do anger God,
They cause you to disobey;
Making you to become flawed,
Whenever you go astray.

You have lived that kind of life,
When anger and tempers flare;
Sinful cursing would cause strife,
At times causing you despair.

Be honest and do not lie,
The life that you used to live;
If the truth hurts, go and cry,
As to easily forgive.

So become a new person,
Having the right attitude;
Using a godly passion,
The right frame of mind and mood.

As holy people chose by God,
You must be humble and kind;
Always give honor and laud,
Being patient, peace of mind.

Tolerate one another,
With willingness to forgive;
Showing love to each other,
Harmonious ways to live.

Above all things put on love,
Which is bonded perfectness;
It is flowing from above,
As a form of blessedness.

Let the peace of Christ control,
As you go about each day;
Let His Spirit in your soul,
While you trust and obey.

Christ with richness and wisdom,
Will be living in your heart;
Bridging you with His Kingdom,
To sing praises to impart.
