Warnings and Exhortations
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Whether you are in the faith test,
About yourself do not realize;
Through Jesus Christ, you do your best,
For His wisdom will make you wise.
I hope that you find not to fail,
But pray to God not to do wrong;
So that at the end of your trail,
You know for sure that you belong.
Because we are not reprobates,
In doing that which is honest;
Doing evil will lock the gates,
And cancel all that we invest.
We cannot be against the truth,
For we are glad when we are weak;
Being strong in spiritual youth,
Restoring in prayer what we seek.
For we wish of a perfection,
Writing these things while away;
That Christ gives you the protection,
That keeps you from going astray.
I have no might to be severe,
To build you up or tear you down;
Because I am way too sincere,
In causing you to wear a frown.
Rather aim for restoration,
And to comfort one another;
Live in peace with declaration,
In harmony with each other.
Greet others with a holy kiss,
Letting all the saints salute you;
Giving a chance to reminisce,
Allows His love to continue.
