What motivates one in so doing,
If not to honor God's dear Son? --
If not the hope that any of
What the Master said and taught
Shall become dwellers
In the hearts of men,
And so lodged,
Lead an individual to obey,
And obeying God's Word,
Find the joy and purpose in life
Obtainable in no other way?
Jesus said of his words that
They would not pass away
Though everything else perish.
And they have not.
And we adoring souls who do
What we can to pass along
Jesus' sublime teachings
Can see what we write --
If we listen well to divine direction --
Reach the hearts of those now living,
And those lives yet to be.
