Let love be without lip service,
And hold on to all that is good;
Use His wisdom for your advice,
Doing to others as you should.
Be devoted to each other,
And be a loving family;
A husband more like a brother,
To a wife conceptually.
Excel with showing your respect,
To all others that surround you;
And their ideas do not reject,
Anything that they may construe.
Be not lazy in devotion,
Use willingness to serve the Lord;
Able to fill with emotion,
Showing He is loved and adored.
Be happy in your confidence,
Be patient with any trouble;
Praying with such a diligence,
Not to complain or to grumble.
Share with others on what you got,
Hospitable with those in need;
Be not stingy with things you bought,
As you help others to succeed.
Bless all those who persecute you,
Giving blessings but to not curse;
The Lord will show them what is true,
Upon His wrath in all due course.
Be happy with all those who are glad,
And always live in harmony;
Never chesty to someone sad,
That results in iniquity.
Repay not evil for revenge,
Allow God to use His wrath;
Leave it unto Him to avenge,
As they travel down the wrong path.
