Remain Focused on Jesus
Stay away from the things you lust,
Trying to lure you into a trust;
Pursue what God already approves,
And your spiritual health improves.
Share faith, love and peace together,
As you worship with your brother;
Praising the Lord with a pure heart,
Reciting His words to impart.
Be not dumb enough to argue,
The foolish words that are not true;
You will detour another way,
And will speak as you go astray.
So be kind to everyone,
Being a servant of the Son;
Thinking of words by the preacher,
As you become a good teacher.
Be willing to suffer a wrong,
Letting agony to prolong;
Confessing to God what occurred,
Asking forgiveness be offered.
You must be gentle unto those,
With correcting if they oppose;
Of how the Good News has been taught,
And is not as how they have thought.
Maybe God will allow a way,
For them to go trust and obey;
How to change how they act and think,
So the truth is what they will drink.
