In view of all that we share,
On the compassion of God;
How He shows that He does care,
By cleansing where we are flawed.
I urge you to surrender,
Yourself and be sacrificed;
Being humbled and tender,
No longer being enticed.
Devote yourself to the Lord,
Do what is pleasing to Him;
Once you are in one accord,
No longer will you feel grim.
This is a kind of worship,
That is set aside for you;
Improve your relationship,
With the one God that is true.
Be not like those of this place,
Rather change the way you think;
Not like the ones that disgrace,
Are amoral as they drink.
You will know the desires,
What is good and pleases God;
That perfection requires,
Showing Him honor and laud.
The kindness of God has shown,
Never put yourself as first;
Just do what He would condone,
Which keeps desires from thirst.
Good judgment should be from thought,
For keeping God on your mind;
Just what believers have sought,
Being with God as aligned.
God gave you a certain gift,
That is different from others;
Each inspires to uplift,
All the sisters and brothers.
Practice gifts to perfection,
With being humble and meek;
To feel godly affection,
In everything you seek.
