Christian Life Consistency
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Look carefully at how you walk,
Not as unwise but also wise;
The way you speak and how you talk,
Do not let words be a disguise.
Making the best use of your time,
Because of the days become evil;
Sitting idle will be your crime,
Allows entry to the devil.
Be not foolish but understand,
About what the will of the Lord;
When you are guided by His hand,
You will remain in one accord.
Drink not excessively with wine,
Comes debauchery in merit;
But moderately when you dine,
Rather be filled with the Spirit.
Speak to one another in song,
Making melody to the Lord;
Show that you really do belong,
To Christ and cannot be ignored.
Always give thanks for all to God,
The Father of Christ our Lord;
Pay homage through honor and laud,
Show that He is loved and adored.
Submit yourself to each other,
Out of reverence unto Christ;
Peace with your sister and brother,
Showing you have been sacrificed.
