August 2007...Rules for Holy Living

 
As God's chosen child,
How must you live?
With compassion and kindness,
Humility to forgive.

Take off your old self,
Put on the new;
Spread Christ's love
In all that you do.

Uphold the needs of others
With gentle patience;
And the peace of the Lord
Is what you will sense.

Sing Psalms and hymns,
And spiritual songs;
In gratitude tell Jesus
Where your heart belongs.

Let God's Holy Word
Dwell in you richly;
So that His wisdom,
In you, others may see.

Put to death evil desires,
Your earthly nature;
So you may live in glory,
As promised in Scripture.

And whatever you do,
Whether in word or in deed;
Do it in the name of Jesus,
Thankful, from sin you were freed.
