True and pure must be our mission.
Everyone has a mission,
But not every mission is approved by the Lord.
But not every mission is approved by the Lord.
For the Lord wants purity, obedience, compassion,
Kindness, justice, peace, and love.
Kindness, justice, peace, and love.
May the Lord bless our missions
If they are according to His Word,
If they are according to His Word,
But if they are not according to His Word,
The mission is worthless.
The mission is worthless.
Unless the house is built by the Lord,
The laborers labor in vain.
The laborers labor in vain.
Unless the city is guarded by the Lord,
The guards keep watch in vain.
The guards keep watch in vain.
The mission the Lord approves
Is to spread the teachings of Christ and no other
Is to spread the teachings of Christ and no other
His light, His teachings, His name.
Amen
I like the way you incorporate a direct Bible reference in many of your poems. Good idea to exactly state the results that Christ expects form our missions in His name. Original of this pink embroidery is right beside my IPad where it pleases me many times a day.
