Remember, Remember

My son, give ear and learn in youth.

Obey the Lord and live his truth.

Commandments given unto you

Can stand as blessings for you too.

If you obey the Lord’s command

He then will bless you in the land.

By simple things, the great arise

And small means oft confound the wise.

Remember, oh, remember, son.

By heeding God, the prize is won

And you will prosper in the land

When you obey the Lord’s command.

So, search the scriptures all your days

That you may better know his ways

And pray as you lay down at night

That God may keep you in his sight.

And then, at dawn, when you arise,

Thank him who kept you with his eyes

And cry to him for your support.

Don’t let him be your last resort

But seek his will in all you do

To call his blessings unto you.

Do not be slothful as of old

When people let their faith grow cold

And wandered long for faith had failed

As if their vision had been veiled.

Behold these words.  Take heed.  Obey.

And God will point you in his way;

The way that brings eternal bliss.

Take heed.  God wants no more than this.

Receive the gifts God longs to give.

Remember.  Look to God, and live.
