A sacrifice brought by evil,
Is so disgusting to the Lord;
That has been brought by the devil,
And let it never be ignored.
The prayers from the decent people,
Are very pleasing to the Lord;
As He watches them in His temple,
They are living in one accord.
The way of the wicked people,
Is so disgusting to the Lord;
While scoffing at the Gospel,
Not showing that He is adored.
He loves who pursues righteousness,
And spiritually disciplined;
While living in godliness,
Intentionally has not sinned.
Discipline is a dreadful load,
A burden who leaves the right path;
Following where deception flowed,
But will be dying from His wrath.
Lie open in front of the Lord,
Showing Him much more of your heart;
Spread your wings as the eagle soared,
As dawning of the day to start.
A mocker likes not a warning,
That is being told by the wise;
Turning away from the mourning,
That is hidden that they despise.
A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
That has a joyful intercession;
But a sad heart feeling disgrace,
With a heartache comes depression.
The mind that has understanding,
As it searches for the knowledge;
Heeds to what God is demanding,
He will give you an advantage.
Better to have a little fear,
For righteousness God will measure;
While knowing that He is near,
Before inheriting His treasure.
