I am writing that you not sin,
Maintain spiritual discipline;
Through Christ we have the approval,
For iniquity removal.
Christ speaks for us to the Father,
Being our Lord and a Brother;
Since He has paid for our wrongs,
That immorality belongs.
It is not just of our own,
But for what God does not condone;
That has occurred throughout this place,
And shows mercy sprinkling His grace.
I am certain that we all know,
Obeying commandments does show;
How we act and the way we talk,
In the direction where we walk.
If you say that you do know Him,
You lie if your life is so grim;
Since you constantly go astray,
His commandments you disobey.
You are a liar and uncouth,
Because you do not tell the truth;
Since Jesus cannot live within,
When you are occupied with sin.
I am writing of a new Law,
That will assist to cure your flaw;
Though it is the same as the old,
Recalling what Moses had told.
It is the truth what does exists,
That the Holy Spirit persists;
Letting the darkness melt away,
No longer allowing to stray.
Those who say they live in the light,
But are not able to shine bright;
If other believers they hate,
The darkness is sealing their fate.
Those who love others of the light,
The light of Christ is shining bright;
Destroys not the faith that they live,
Because of all the love they give.
