Prepare your mind for action,
And being sober-minded;
Scriptures gives you the traction,
So that you are not blinded.

Set your hope fully on grace,
That was brought to you by Christ;
His revelation to face,
And never to be enticed.

An obedient child,
Does not conform to passions;
Former lusts made you wild,
Into immoral fashions.

But He who called you holy,
Be holy in your conduct;
Holy in a way solely,
Ensuring not to obstruct.

Be holy because of the Lord,
If you call Him as Father;
And to be in one accord,
Since Jesus is your Brother.

He judges impartially,
According to all your deeds;
Conditioned as morally,
As He caters to your needs.

Knowing that you were ransomed,
From the corruptible ways;
As righteousness has blossomed,
From anyone that obeys.

For the precious blood of Christ,
Like no blemish of a lamb;
Given to be sacrificed
Finds favor with the I Am.

Known before the foundation,
Manifested in these days;
In giving us salvation,
When in having righteous ways.

For through Him are believers,
As Christ was raised from the dead;
For eternal life receivers,
And into Heaven will be led.

For all flesh is like the grass,
Its glory like the flower;
It withers as seasons pass,
At a foreordained hour.
