Righteously Do
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Who makes a practice of sinning,
Also practices lawlessness;
To sin means you are transgressing,
And immorally godlessness.
You know Christ came to take away,
Sins and in Him, there is no sin;
But free will in us makes us stray,
Temptation that corrupts within.
None who abides in Him sins not,
Those sinning neither see nor know;
For their conscience has only sought,
Pleasures that the eyes and ears show.
Let no one ever deceive you,
They practice sin for the devil;
For righteousness will remain true,
Never with attempting evil.
For the devil has been sinning,
Wherefore the Son of God appeared;
And give a righteous beginning,
To all who laud God and revere.
Christ came to destroy all such deeds,
All the works that Satan had done;
Ensuring that the righteous needs,
And giving glory to the Son.
Whosoever is born of God,
Never does keep practice sinning;
And will never be getting flawed,
And blessings will keep them winning.
It’s expressed who is His child,
Ordained to practice righteousness;
Those of Satan are defiled,
Immoral ways of viciousness.
