For Rowdy Christians Everywhere

Exhortation

  Let us be like Jesus,

  who did His Father’s work

  in holy innocence--

  teaching men to forgive,

  turning our hearts toward God,

  showing us what was precious.

  Nothing is as precious

  as following Jesus,

  witnessing for God,

  doing love’s thankless work;

  being quick to forgive,

  assuming innocence.

  Let us love innocence.

  Since mercy is precious,

  leave less to forgive!

  Presume not on Jesus;

  make holiness your work,

  that we may honor God.

  Obey the Lord our God,

  who commands innocence.

  Let us do all our work well,

  for time is precious--

  some still don’t know Jesus.

  These too He would forgive.

  Tell them He will forgive

  all who believe in God,

  all who accept Jesus,

  giving them innocence

  through His holy, precious

  blood: by grace, not by work.

  Christ wrought a perfect work,

  made a way to forgive,

  delivered the precious

  children safe home to God.

  In Him is innocence.

  Thank you Lord Jesus.

  God grant us innocence;

  forgive our wicked work;

  make us precious through Jesus.
