BASED ON TITUS 2:1-10

EVERY CHRISTIAN MUST BE ACTIVE
TO FULFILL GOD'S PLAN IN LIFE.
THEY MUST MAKE GOD'S TRUTH ATTRACTIVE
AMIDST UGLINESS AND STRIFE

OLDER MEN MUST LEARN TO BE SOUND
IN FAITH, LOVE AND ENDURANCE.
WORTHY OF ALL RESPECT BE FOUND
FILLED WITH SELF-CONTROLLED ASSURANCE.

II
OLDER WOMEN MUST BE REV'ERENT
IN THE DAILY LIFE THEY LIVE.
WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY DARE NOT BE BLUNT
BUT ALWAYS GOOD TEACHING GIVE.

TO MUCH WINE BE NOT ADDICTED
BUT IN SPIRIT TO BE MILD.
TRAINING WOMEN THOUGH AFFLICTED
TO LOVE EACH HUSBAND AND CHILD.

III
YOUNGER WOMEN NEED TO LEARN TOO
TO BE BUSY IN THE HOME.
KIND AND SUBJECT WHERE IT'S DUE
SO FROM GOD'S WORD MEN WON'T ROAM.

YOUNGER MEN MUST BE SELF-CONTROLLED
AND EXAMPLES MUST BE SET.
IN DOING GOOD THEY MUST BE BOLD
SO BAD NEWS WON'T BE A THREAT.

IV
EVERY SLAVE MUST BE SUBJECT
IN THE WORDS AND IN THEIR ACTS.
ALWAYS STRIVING TO SHOW RESPECT
SO THEIR LIFE TO CHRIST ATTRACTS.

THEY MUST IN ALL THINGS STRIVE TO PLEASE
AND REFRAIN FROM ALL BACK TALK.
THEIR MASTER'S THINGS THEY MUST NOT SEIZE
TRUSTWORTHY IN ALL THEIR WALK.
