Do your best in front of the Lord,
Always remain in one accord,
A tried and true servant of God,
Remember to honor and laud.
A worker who is not ashamed,
Of the Gospel to be proclaimed;
Never trying to be uncouth,
When teaching the Word of truth.
Avoid pointless and nonsense chat,
For wasting time to chew the fat;
Discussions lead to worldly things,
And spreads like a cancer it brings.
Many have abandoned the truth,
Attitude has become uncouth ;
And you are losing your brothers,
For it destroys faith in others.
Rather in spite of all of that,
Pull your rabbit out of your hat;
Because of faith and salvation,
You have a solid foundation.
The Lord knows who truly belongs,
As well as who has many wrongs;
So whoever worships the Lord,
All those wrongs cannot be ignored.
In a house there are many things,
To someone the happiness brings;
It is honor when some are used,
But grief when broken or abused.
Stay away from things that bring lust,
And only in God you put your trust;
Seek faith love and peace to impart,
Worship the Lord with a pure heart.
