Poetry

Concerning brotherly love,
You should have already heard;
What God has sent from above,
As is written in His Word.

Because of you have been taught,
By God to love each other;
What one another is sought,
Comfort your sister and brother.

Indeed, what you are doing,
To all the brothers throughout;
We urge to keep pursuing,
Not indicating any doubt.

Shoot for to live quietly,
And to mind your own affairs;
Solitude and privately,
With a family that cares.

Do as instructed to you,
So, you can properly walk;
Before outsiders tell true,
Dependent in what you talk.

We want you to be informed,
About those who are asleep;
Helping them to be transformed,
Before they are slaughtered sheep.

As long as you do not grieve,
As others who have no hope;
But continue to believe,
Through adversities you cope.

Since we believe that Christ died,
Had risen again to live;
On the cross was crucified,
He rose again to forgive.

We will bring those who not sleep,
Declare the Lord and His Word;
Fruits of your labor to reap,
Through what others has had heard.

Revelation of the Lord,
Those alive will not precede;
To sleepers in one accord,
And only those who concede.

The Lord will come with a cry,
Trumpet sounding that will rise;
Ascending saying goodbye,
And inheriting their prize.
