Spiritual Milk
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Put away malice and deceit,
Your slanderous hypocrisy;
The temptations that taste so sweet,
Causing the greed that you envy.
You are like a new-born infant,
Longing for pure spiritual milk;
The darkness is causing torment,
As a conman trying to bilk.
So grow up into salvation,
Sincere desire of the Word;
For building your new foundation,
On the Scripture that you have heard.
You have tasted the Lord is good,
And tasted that He is gracious;
You were taught about what you should,
Being humbled, not bodacious.
