Seeking the Goodness

Amos 5:13-15

The wise will keep silent in a time of evil,
To patiently wait for the Messiah's arrival;
Seek good rather than evil so you may live,
For The Lord God is so gracious to forgive;
The God of the armies is here as you say,
Love good and do not become evil's prey;
Allowing right be done in a public place,
That God will show His mercy and grace.
Establish judgment at the righteous gate,
Show compassion to good and to evil hate;
Because of what God has spoken to you,
Shall always be remaining consistently true;
All you have in keeping is faith to believe,
Not allowing any evil attempting to deceive;
For God is ever with you inside He abides,
To show you His will and way as He guides;
For maintaining righteousness deep within,
Will be keeping you free of all earthly sin;
Seek the goodness so that life may be yours,
Ensuring you a key to open Heaven's doors.
