In view of all that we got,
Through shared compassion of God;
I urge you to share the thought,
With whom you honor and laud.
Be a living sacrifice,
Dedicated to the Lord;
Let earth no longer entice,
That makes God to be ignored.
Be happy and never grim,
Going through every day;
Do what is pleasing to Him,
While you trust and obey.
For it is appropriate,
Doing this kind of worship;
When you pray you meditate,
To bond your relationship.
Be not like those of the place,
Just change the way that you think;
Letting Him to shed His grace,
To stop the poison you drink.
Then you are always able,
In knowing His desires;
As your life will be stable,
Goodness what God requires.
For the kindness God has shown,
So I ask you not to think;
On doing it all alone,
To cause your problems to shrink.
Your thoughts should lead you to use,
Judgment based on His wisdom;
Rather than causing abuse,
That blocks you from His Kingdom.
We have more than just one part,
Which do not do the same thing;
Each one cannot be a heart,
Or a tongue where words fling.
Each one has a job to do,
Through a gift that we must serve;
For helping us each day through,
A spiritual learning curve.
