Christ in Your Home
Wives, submit to your husband,
As is fitting in the Lord;
Every minute and second,
Never let them be ignored.
Husbands, always love your wife,
Never to be harsh to them;
Showing honor through your life,
And never try to condemn.
Children obey their parents,
This is pleasing to the Lord;
When showing obedience,
It puts them in one accord.
Never provoke your child,
Lest they become discouraged;
And they will be defiled,
And they will become ravaged.
Servants obey your masters,
Sincere hearts will fear the Lord;
Never being down casters,
Let not their words be ignored.
Work heartily what you do,
For the Lord and not for man;
Diligently to pursue,
In following His plan.
From the Lord that you should know,
An inheritance to reward;
Allows the blessings to flow,
For you are serving the Lord.
The wrongdoer will be paid back,
Because the wrong that was done;
Respect for others you lack,
Disrespects also the Son.
