Serving Love

You were chosen to be free,
For having insight to see;
And know what is right or wrong,
While you keep your faith strong.

But do not give flesh its chance,
To make a worldly advance;
You are not above the Law,
And will just cause you to flaw.

Be brothers to each other,
By serving one another;
Being as servants of love,
As blessed from the Lord above.

For the Law is made complete,
From love that will not deplete;
As yourself love your neighbor,
In your leisure and labor.

Fruit of the Spirit is love,
That brings joy and peace thereof;
From kind acts and gentle minds,
As faith spiritually binds.
