You need to be compassionate,
Lovingly to one another;
Humbly being affectionate,
Unto your sister and brother.
Be sympathetic towards others,
For being all in one accord;
Courteous unto your brothers,
While being one with the Lord.
Return not evil for evil,
As well as insult for insult;
Avoid siding with the devil,
Leading to conflicting assault.
You will inherit a blessing,
When you have been blessing others;
After you have been confessing,
Of iniquities that smothers.
Anyone whose life that they love,
Must keep evil away from tongue;
Deceit does not come from above,
Between the lips that would have flung.
You must turn away from evil,
By seeking the peace to pursue;
Avoid working for the devil,
And bid Satan with an adieu.
For the eyes of the Lord will see,
And listening with open ears;
To the prayers of the righteously,
Who knowingly infers your fears.
For what we face the Lord does know,
By who or what that could harm you;
Devotion lets blessings to flow,
That gives the insight to construe.
If you just happen to suffer,
Anytime you are doing right;
Allow Christ to be your buffer,
Who will be giving the insight.
For faithful courage makes you bold,
In being a witness for God;
Fear not as the facts will unfold,
That the Lord already outlawed.
