Build houses and live within them,
To protect you from the mayhem;
Plant gardens eat what they produce,
Sloth not for being an excuse.
Get married have sons and daughters,
Baptizing in holy waters;
Grow in numbers never decrease,
Always letting love to increase.
Work for the good of your city,
Beautify streets to look pretty;
When it prospers you prosper too,
For all of your goals you pursue.
Do not let the prophets trick you,
To take another avenue;
And never listen to your dreams,
Regardless of how real it seems.
For they prophesy only lies,
Working through Satan in disguise;
Because the Lord will soon condemn,
Since He had never sent out them.
Fear not for God will come to you,
Rendering aid to help you through;
He will keep His promise of grace,
Which will take you back to His place.
He knows the plans that you possess,
And desires that you address;
They are plans of peace not ill will,
Rather plans to stir and instill.
Plans for giving you a future,
With the hope as a new creature;
Then you will call upon the Lord,
Worshipping and in one accord.
You will go and while you pray,
He will hear you if you obey;
When you look for Him you will find,
He has given a peace of mind.
