The Spirit of Christian Love
Keep on loving your brothers,
Remain true unto your spouse;
Care for fathers and mothers,
Always keep an open house.
An angel might be your guest,
And might be wholly unknown;
You will want to look your best,
Ensuring he would condone.
Let married life be honored,
And never be made unclean;
You will be judged by the Word,
From even thoughts that have been.
Be free from the lust and greed,
While pleased with what you got;
God provides with what you need,
Kill the thoughts of having not.
Say of having a good heart,
But only if for the Lord;
Never letting Him depart,
Nor ever being ignored.
Jesus Christ the same today,
Just like as He always was;
Imitate your faith in His way,
Just as all His faithful does.
