Exhortation to Obedience
Keep my teaching in mind,
To help you remain kind;
And my rules in your heart,
Hold in to not depart.
They will increase your days,
By following their ways;
With years of life and peace,
That shall never to cease.
Let your faith and mercy,
To help you oversee;
Hanging around your neck,
For keeping you in check.
So you will have the grace,
That your name will embrace;
In the eyes of the Lord,
To stay in one accord.
Put all your hope in God,
As you honor and laud;
But not looking for why,
You cannot edify.
Always give him an ear,
To be able to hear;
As He makes your path straight,
Making it illuminate.
