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.
