Now who we are strong,
A duty to bear;
Weaknesses as wrong,
Without strength to share.
A self not to please,
But please each other;
For tensions to ease,
Loving your brother.
So please your neighbor,
Good to build him up;
Leisure and labor,
Sharing the love cup.
Even Jesus Christ,
Himself did not please;
Never got enticed,
By a tempting tease.
The insults of those,
Have fallen on Him;
Because what they chose,
Tries to make Him grim.
To what was written,
Written in the past;
Decreed forbidden,
As to ever last.
So that we may hope,
Hope through endurance;
So, we have to cope,
With the assurance.
Through encouragement,
Comes from the Scriptures;
With acknowledgement,
For greener pastures.
Live in harmony,
With one another;
Like a symphony,
Tuned to each other.
Patience will grant you,
To glorify God;
For remaining true,
Through honor and laud.
