Poetry

---

You did not obey,
What Moses had taught;
Promises that day,
Abraham had sought.

For he had believed,
To inherit earth;
It would be received,
In all of its worth.

But it was through God,
And His approval;
Where you have been flawed,
For its removal.

So if you obey,
Then you are an heir;
And able to say;
Faith does not hold air.

Then faith is useless,
For it holds no weight;
A promise worthless,
Would not compensate.

The laws will bring wrath,
And cannot survive;
When blocking the path,
What it would deprive.

Faith comes from promise,
As to be a gift;
That is a solace,
For hope to uplift.

The promise is vouched,
For every kin;
Willingly avouched,
For avoiding sin.

Patience comes from hope,
A long time to learn;
Rest in God to cope,
For the gift you earn.
