Do not be deceived,
That you see and hear;
Any gift received,
What it would appear.
Every good gift,
Perfect from above;
Spirit will uplift,
With goodness and love.
Down from the Father,
As a dazzling light;
Through Christ your Brother,
Giving you insight.
For of His own will,
He brought forth the Word;
Of truth to instill,
Each time it is heard.
We are the firstfruits,
Being new creatures;
That faith grow deep roots,
Taught by the Scriptures.
So be quick to hear,
While slow to speak;
Let not anger near,
Be humble and meek.
The anger of man,
Makes no righteousness;
And disrupts the plan,
Sending blessedness.
Avoid filthiness,
For saving your soul;
Receive humbleness,
Let Jesus control.
So be a doer,
Not just a hearer;
As a pursuer,
And an adherer.
For faith that is pure,
Perfect before God;
Allows Him to cure,
Where you have been flawed.
