Submit to human law,
For the sake of the Lord;
No matter if a flaw,
Not within your accord.
Whoever is supreme,
That governs the nation;
Tyrants of a regime,
Have no altercation.
Praise the ones who do good,
Wrath falls on offenders;
Let God handle what could,
Expose the pretenders.
For God wants to silence,
Ignorance of the fools;
That are in defiance,
Of all the holy rules.
Live as a free people,
Not as guise for evil;
Remember the Gospel,
As you snub the devil.
So, honor all people,
Loving all believers;
Worship in His temple,
As holy receivers.
Subject to your master,
Not only who are good;
Also, the down caster,
Corrupted as they could.
God finds as a blessing,
And shines on you favor;
Knowing Christ as your King,
And being your Savior.
A reward in Heaven,
That credits you within;
A gift that is given,
When you avoided sin.
Endure the suffering,
Even if mistreated;
Christ will be buffering,
When you feel as cheated.
You were sheep gone astray,
But now you have turned back;
As you start to obey.
For confidence you lack.
