Poetry

---

I encourage you to live,
Humble and gentle each day;
As you lovingly forgive,
All those that has gone astray.

Be patient with each other,
Through peace that ties together;
Fondly accept your brother,
At the time you may gather.

One body and one Spirit,
And called as to share one hope;
Only one faith through your merit,
That will assist you to cope.

It was measured out to us,
By Jesus Christ was given;
A favor from God as thus,
When He went up to Heaven.

He gave us pastors to church.
As well as teachers as gifts;
Assisting in our search,
Inspiration that uplifts.

The purpose is to prepare,
So all His people can serve;
Building up able to share,
Where there is a learning curve.

This is set to continue,
Till everyone of us;
Will be able to construe,
The intent from God as thus.

Our knowledge of the Son,
Until we become mature;
Measure up to become one,
In the standard that will cure.

Little children no longer,
Understand what we are taught;
Making our faith stronger,
And changing for godly thought.

We are influenced by Christ,
And no longer by this place;
No longer to be enticed,
For God has given His grace.
