Living as People of God


Witness in the name of the Lord,
Testify how He is adored;
Encourage others for the same,
In going out as to proclaim.

Do not live longer for this world,
Since His plan is being unfurled;
This place is filled with worthless things,
That sets your mind on what it brings.

I know you think it as treasure,
Because of giving you pleasure;
But it just causes you to stray,
Leaving from the righteous pathway.

You would be living in the dark,
No matter where you would embark;
While living a life of sin,
That has corrupted you within.

One thing that your mind should preserve,
Two masters you can never serve;
Either love God with all your might,
Or lust for what is in your sight.

Get rid of lies and speak the truth,
Abolish the ways from your youth;
And live as a person of God,
Abide in His Word as you laud.
