Reasons



Some people think they must obey
God's rules to then be blessed,
Not knowing that is not God's way.
All sins must be confessed!

Some people think that discipline
Is punishment for those
Who do not care if they should sin
So, rules they don't oppose.

And some try hard to never fail
With deeds outweighing sins,
As if God used a balance scale
Each time that day begins.

Those people do not understand
That reasons they think of
To serve the Lord the way He planned,
Should be for God above!
