Poetry

---

Let it be your desire to be like the Lord,
Be as well-loved children of the Father;
Through each day abiding in His Word,
Treating each other just as your brother.

Living in love just as Christ loves you,
With giving Himself up as a sacrifice;
So that our lives to eternally continue,
Since Jesus had already paid the price.

But evil acts of the flesh are unclean,
They are filled with envious desires;
Things that are spoken and are seen,
That light up all your earthly desires.

Be noted that it is not right for saints,
To have such lust and low behavior;
As in fussing and having complaints,
As well as fornication that you savor.

Instead of that consider giving praise,
For heritage of the Kingdom of God;
Rather than lust think of God always,
Worship Him as you honor and laud.
