Loving Action
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
We know love, He laid down His life,
As we ought to for our brother;
Helping them through toils and strife,
Shows that we care for each other.
If anyone has worldly goods,
Sees another brother in need;
Guide them out of the darkened woods,
For sharing is making a good deed.
Yet if you are closing your heart,
How does the love of God abide;
And are unable to impart,
Not releasing it from inside.
Let’s not love in the Word or talk,
Rather doing in deed and truth;
In the footsteps of the Lord walk,
Never arrogant nor uncouth.
By this, we know that we are true,
Reassures our heart to Christ;
On His path that we continue,
Let ourselves be sacrificed.
God is greater than our heart,
And He is knowing everything;
Is willing to give a new start,
With all the blessings it will bring.
