We must live in harmony,
Be sympathetic and humble;
Have compassion in symphony,
Love each other and not grumble.
Pay not people back for evil,
Ridicule not or give insults;
Rather bless them to be able,
And try to be mature adults.
People living a full life,
And have been enjoying good days;
Will always experience strife,
Within many possible ways.
They have to be keeping their tongues,
From saying any evil things;
Speaking from the breath of their lungs,
From wickedness that may be thought.
They must turn away and do good,
As they seek the peace to pursue;
Doing the way as the Lord would,
In one accord with being true.
The eyes of the Lord are on those,
Who are doing as He approves;
His ears hear all as their prayer flows,
All iniquities He removes.
Who will harm you if devoted,
With doing all that would be good;
Confidently and sure-footed,
Solid rock that is understood.
Even if you suffer for doing,
What God approves, you will be blessed;
Do not stop, but keep pursuing,
Since He knows that you did your best.
Fear not or start getting upset,
Dedicate your life to the Lord;
Since Jesus Christ has paid your debt,
Allow it not to be ignored.
Have your conscience to remain clear,
Think with gentleness and respect;
It is God that you must revere,
Accepting and never reject.
