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.
