Put to death the worldly things, The perversion of lust; With the passion that it brings, All the wealth that you did trust. It is because of this sin, The wrath of God is on you; And impossible to win, If you do not remain true. If you refuse to obey, Because of your sinful life; And since you have gone astray, You are in the midst of strife. Just get rid of your anger, Hot tempers and your hatred; Stop cursing and being vulgar, Look onto the one that bled. Do not lie to each other, Be the one you use to be; Honesty to your brother, Doing as God does decree. Be the person you once were, And the life you use to live; Stop making the past a blur, Allowing God to forgive. Be the one God has elect, As patient, humble and kind; Any laws do not reject, Always keep a gentle mind. Forgive those who have done wrong, Forgive as the Lord forgave; Let not agony prolong, Following you to the grave. Let the peace of Christ control, And be thankful what you got; Let His Spirit in your soul, Through the ransom His blood bought. Be thankful for what was done, That He did suffer the loss; And God had given His Son, For hanging upon the cross. C Copyright © 2015 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
