Reconciling for Peace


Matthew 5:21-24

You have heard it said to the men of old,
"You shall not kill,"as the Scriptures told;
Whoever kills shall be liable to judgment,
With God, you only one pretrial settlement;
Pray to God, confessing your guilt and sin,
But everyone needs to be cleansed within;
If you are being angry with your brother,
Be liable to judgment from your Father;
Insult your brother and be liable in court,
And God will really want to see the report;
And whoever says, "You Fool!" to anyone,
You shall be liable to Hell Fire of the sun;
If you are offering your gift at the altar,
Clean your slate first or you may falter;
If your brother has something against you,
Make amends with him to clear up the issue;
Reconcile with your brother of what's wrong,
Make peace, not allow a conflict to prolong;
Once you have made peace and spirit uplift,
Then come to the altar and offer your gift.
