Doing as Being Told

Luke 6:43-49

A good tree brings not forth any bad fruit,
Neither a bad tree bear of what would suit;
Since every tree is judged by their wears,
Simply from the type of fruit that it bears.

You do not get grapes from an apple tree,
Even oranges, which I would like to see;
Likewise for the good man and his heart,
Giving out good things for you to impart.

While just like the heart of an evil man,
Throughout our history since time began;
Whatever that is with the heart is stored,
The same that out of the mouth is poured.

You call Him Lord then not do as He said,
Decide on doing something else instead;
Whoever goes to Christ and lends an ear,
Then does it for he holds the words so dear.

In building on rock gives good foundation,
Is the same with Christ and your salvation;
But building your house on a sandy beach,
Will not hold up if a tsunami might reach.
