A Thankful Spirit

In the faith you will have the love,
Of sisters and brothers thereof;
And keep loving no matter what,
The same way as Jesus had taught.

Take care to keep an open home.
To others that you see may roam;
An angel might be as your guest,
And ensure that you will be blest.

Keep in mind those who are in chains,
Prisoners of someone who reigns;
You can help them through giving peace,
So they can be cleansed to release.

Let married life to honor you,
And to your spouse always be true;
For if you are holding a grudge.
On that last day the Lord will judge.

Be free from the love of money,
It cannot keep your days sunny;
Be pleased with the things that you own,
Rid of what God does not condone.

Better to give than to receive,
If you have faith and do believe;
A thankful Spirit from above,
Will be blessing your Christian love.
