Active Love
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Each one shall know that we are,
To reassure our heart;
In being a shining star,
Before Him as we impart.
For when your heart would condemn,
Knowing that God is greater;
Knows the chaos and mayhem,
And sends a communicator.
If your heart does not condemn,
With God, we have confidence;
His wrath will come upon them,
That are showing defiance.
From Him, whatever we ask,
If we keep His commandments;
No matter of what the task,
For success in achievements.
It pleases Him to believe,
Having a faith in His Son;
To ask and we shall receive,
As to what His love has done.
We should love one another,
Just as He commanded us;
For each sister and brother,
Relationships as joyous.
Keep His commands to abide,
In us dwells through His Spirit;
Allows Him to be your guide,
Constantly through your merit.
