Mary is the mother of all who keep the gospel
Who hold the teachings of Jesus close to the heart
Holding virtue and justice, yet always compassion
So their judgment is never anger or malice
But a gentle push leading us away from sin toward Christ
For Christ is the way, the truth, and the life
And His teachings are life‑giving
So let us be compassionate, truthful, loving, and caring
In all we think, and say, and do
For any path without honesty leaves Jesus behind
And no one can walk the path of dishonesty
And carry the gospel
At the same time
For the one with a foot in each boat
Falls between them and is lost
It is fatal to walk without Jesus
Or with unforgiveness or unholiness
So choose the path of Jesus
For the choice we make now
Shapes the life to come
And what awaits us when we die
Amen
A scary metaphor. Pray I choose Jesus’s boat. You describe that boat very well in the 2nd and 3rd stanzas. I like the Bible reference too.
