I hope to visit you soon,
But I am writing to you;
Prior to the next full moon,
In case I am overdue.
Because I want you to know,
How the members of the church;
In their living they must show,
The standards that they should search.
Members are family,
As the family of God;
And have to be actually,
Able to honor and laud.
Honor and laud of the truth,
Of the God who is living;
And never to be uncouth,
Because He is forgiving.
The pillar and foundation,
Of the truth in history;
Which established salvation,
That has been a mystery.
The mystery that gives us,
Our reverence for God;
So we do not make a fuss,
As we give honor and laud.
Because God is to be great,
Appearing in human nature;
And willing to compensate,
Making us a new creature.
Justified in the Spirit,
As all the angels have seen;
Being pure in His merit,
Righteous in all that has been.
Announced throughout His wisdom,
And was believed in the world;
Was taken to His Kingdom,
Through the plan that was unfurled.
