Poetic Verses
Charge to Keep
The Bible speaks with clarity
That we serve the destitute
With true benevolence toward the ones
Whose needs are most acute.
There in the book of Matthew
Is a message for us all
That we, our brother's keeper must
With gladness, heed the call.
Because too many find themselves
At wit's end and distraught
Some victims of their own device
While others bear no fault.
But regardless of the circumstance
We have a charge to keep
For Scripture makes it very plain
That all men are God's sheep.
So therefore, we must go and serve
The hapless destitute
With true benevolence toward the ones
Whose needs are most acute.
That we serve the destitute
With true benevolence toward the ones
Whose needs are most acute.
