The Christian Life
Be as a chosen one of God,
Having a compassionate heart;
Humbled to honor and laud,
Holy and beloved to impart.
Forbearing one another,
As the Lord has forgiven;
You should forgive each other,
Just how Heaven has driven.
Above all these put on love,
Bond in perfect harmony;
Binding together thereof,
On your trek with destiny.
Let peace of Christ rule your heart,
In one body you were called;
So that you thankfully start,
By confessing you are flawed.
Let the Word of Jesus Christ,
Dwell richly in all wisdom;
Singing psalms to be enticed,
In your heart of His Kingdom.
Whatever spoken or deed,
Do in the name of the Lord;
Giving thanks for what you need,
And remain in one accord.
