Poetry

---

Because of the Lord we ask,
That you take on this little task;
I do encourage in living,
As God pleasing and forgiving.

Do this the way that you were taught,
And blessings will come as you sought;
Do not deviate or detour,
And find yourself on a trap door.

You know what orders that we gave,
So you will be saved from the grave;
For through Lord Jesus Christ the Son,
Victory over sin is won.

The will of God says stay away,
From sexual sin and not stray;
A mark of devotion to Him,
Show Him your love not to be grim.

In finding a husband or wife,
That you will be keeping for life;
Is done in a honorable way,
Living together through each day.

Not passionate or lustful ways,
As desires to go ablaze;
Only those who do not know God,
Think of pleasures rather than laud.

No one should exploit believers,
That is done by the deceivers;
The Lord punishes for such sins,
Justice when He disciplines.

Do not be sexually perverse,
Unless you pleasure in the curse;
Then eternally acquire,
A space in the lake of fire.
