What motivates one in so doing,
If not to honor God's Son?
Is it not the hope that even any of
What our 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 shall not pass away,
Though everything else perish.
And those adoring souls who do
What they can to pass along
Jesus' sublime teachings
Can see their poetry --
If they listen well to inspiration divine --
Reach the hearts of those now living,
And those lives yet to be.
