What God Requires

Doing what God requires

Is of course no lark.

Jesus never even hinted

It'd be a walk in the park.



In fact, Jesus left no doubt

Just what could lie ahead

In these words to those

God-called men He led.



"...Whosoever killeth you will
Think that he doeth God service."

           (John 16:2)



Doesn't need to be put

Plainer than this for me,

Nor I suspect for you who

Love Christ unconditionally.



But becoming more like our Savior,

The most obedient man on earth,

Shouldn't this be some all out,

Go-for-broke commitment worth?



For we know, disobeying the God

We are taught to adore,

Is sooner or later sure to

Cost us so much more.
