OUR FAMILY
Ecclesias are the family of God
In it we all have a part
So let us conduct ourselves with great care
As we follow the pursuits of our hearts.
Each member is different
Let us understand
Some have great wealth
Others a small hand
Respect one another
And above all
Remember our Lord
And the strength of our call
Whatever we say
Whatever we do
May God's will be done
In all we pursue.
Put God first in your life
And things can go right
For then we are doing
What's right in His sight.
Seven things there are
That our Father doth hate
Are we guilty of these
While for His Kingdom we wait?
First, a proud look
And a lying tongue
A heart that causes
Wickedness to be done
Feet that to mischief
Are running swift
And without care
Causing a rift
Hands that are shedding
Innocent blood
And by false witness
Others smearing in mud
He that doth sow
Discord among brethren
Causes grief to all here
And our Father in heaven
May we never be guilty
Of any of these
And our Father and brethren
Should we aim to please
Our words and our actions
May they faultless be
And if we slip up
May our errors we see
The fruit of the spirit
Let us each day
In all that we do
Be sure to display
There's love, joy and peace
Long--suffering too
Gentleness, goodness
Meekness, temperance do.
And of course faith,
The basis of life
Without it we'd be
In really deep strife
Keep in our sight
The thought of the prize
And put aside
What's right in our eyes
Each day may we pray
"May Thy will be done
And may we be worthy
Into Thy Kingdom to come".
