Owe nobody anything,

Except to love each other;

For the caring that we bring,

Meets the Law for your brother.

Whoever loves one another,

Will be fulfilling the Law;

A caring love for each other,

For saving you from a fall.

You should never kill nor steal,

Nor commit adultery;

Never coveting with zeal,

Or as an accessory.

You have to love your neighbor,

As yourself that you should do;

Aid in leisure and labor,

Always telling what is true.

Because love will do no wrong,

Therefore, it fulfills the Law;

Keeping relationships strong,

And avoiding any flaw.

Besides this you know the time,

The hour has come to wake;

For judgment comes on the crime,

That anybody would make.

Time to wake up from your sleep,

For salvation drawing near;

No longer wandering sheep,

Rather a time to revere.

As closer than once believed,

For the night has gone away;

And the daylight now received,

In which will be here to stay.

Cast of the deeds of the dark,

Put on the armor of light;

In a new life to embark,

To do everything right.

So, let us walk with the Lord,

Make no provision for lust;

And remain in one accord,

Putting in Him all your trust.
