Respect and Honor


John 8:49-51

Jesus said unto them, "I have no demon,
But, I honor my Father and not any man;
You dishonor me for being His only son,
I seek not my own glory in being the one;
There is one that does seek and judge,
Who can not be swayed or to budge;
He will stand firm with His decision,
It won't be changed through persuasion;
I tell you now whoever keeps my Word,
Worrying about death would be absurd";
Too often, we do not show the respect,
For those who are in authority reflect;
Honor and respect to be in the past,
By those who seem to be living fast;
Some kids act like they are due more,
Bringing them through the birthing door;
We want to give them what we didn't own,
Once they got it the more they do moan;
We need to show respect where it's due,
Honor ones who God has in charge over you.
