I write a new commandment, That you had before from the start; Christ gave as a new testament, That should be really known by heart. It is a new that I write you, For the darkness passes away; Because the light that shines is true, Offering to you a new day. Whoso says being in the light, And has been hating his brother; Truly is blinded by the sight, Still in darkness light is a blur. Whoever does love his brother, Abides in the light and in Christ; Stumbles not caused by another, Avoiding from being enticed. To hate then you live in the dark, For the darkness makes you blind; Every place that you embark, Clouding the thoughts within the mind. I write to you because your sin, Are forgiven for Jesus sake; Let His Spirit cleanse you within, For a new creature to awake. I write to you for you know Him, Who has been from the beginning; Giving you the spiritual vim, For avoiding any sinning. I write to you because you know, It has made your faith to be strong; The Word of God has made you grow, Knowing evil does not belong. Love not the world or things within, For love of the Father is lost; Desires of the world is sin, Salvation gone is at its cost. For the world is passing away, Along with all its desires; God lives forever and a day, Giving you what life requires. Copyright © 2019 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
