Living by the Law

Proverbs 7:2 & 3

Keep of God's commandments as your live,
Being an apple of your eye in His directive;
Use your fingers writing them in your heart,
With your full understanding for to impart;
Every day we've committed some kind of sin,
Knowingly or not when as our days begin;
It may be while we are driving on the road,
Of something not paying back that we owed;
Just the thought going through your mind,
With saying something that was maligned;
Lustful thought a body of the opposite sex,
Slander without thought of the aftereffects;
Sneaking onto the bus not paying the fare,
Betting against someone because of a dare;
By pass an injured without rendering aid,
Have not gone to church in over a decade;
The list could be endless even if I went on,
Still not finish by New Years Day at dawn;
All God asks you to remember His 10 Laws,
And you ask for forgiveness on your flaws.
