Analysis of Christian Life
Put on as His elect,
A compassionate heart;
Being humbled select,
With kindness to impart.
Bearing with each other,
And willing to forgive;
Forgiving your brother,
Harmoniously live.
Do all of this with love,
And showing that you care;
Which binds it all thereof,
With a love that you share.
Let His peace rule your heart,
As a body of one;
And be thankful to start,
The Father gave His Son.
So let the Word of Christ,
Dwell within with great wealth;
That you will be enticed,
In your spiritual health.
May wisdom that is taught,
That will nourish your mind;
Only goodness be sought,
For holiness to find.
Sing hymns unto the Lord,
Sing with grace in your heart;
Singing in one accord,
Never let God depart.
And whatever you do,
By the word or the deed;
Just let the Lord pursue,
For gladness to succeed.
