Poetry

---

You have heard from the start,
To love one another;
Think of them from the heart,
Like sister and brother.

We should not be like Cain,
Came from the evil one;
Caused his brother a pain,
That his murder was done.

Why did he murder him?
Because of evil deed;
Jealousy making grim,
From having lustful greed.

But do not be surprised,
Because the world hates you;
Righteousness is despised,
For what you say is true.

We passed from death to life,
Because of having love;
Which endures any strife,
Knowing what is thereof.

Murderers are who hate,
Because they hide from Christ;
Believes not of their fate,
Since the earth has enticed.

For the love we perceive,
That His life did downcast;
So that we could receive,
A life to ever last.

Whoso has worldly wealth,
Sees his brother in need;
Give for spiritual health,
Whatever he may plead.

Let’s not love in the Word,
Rather talk in the truth;
Abide what you have heard,
Remembering from your youth.

Let not the heart condemn,
Because God is greater;
His Law abides in them,
By no means a hater.
