In these words of scripture
this teaching He gave on the earth
we get a glimpse of the Father
and His love of each one of us
The teachings of Jesus
Law of God, not of man
treating one another with justice
to love each of our neighbors
We are to forgive and to pray
even for those who would do us harm
for those who hate us, remembering God;
He is the judge, we merely his messengers
The teachings of Christ, on the Zion hilltop
we, his brother and sisters, his children
the sheep of his flock; we are to listen
with ears that will hear
The world, so different, unlike the will of God;
we are to love, first and foremost
to be loyal, faithful to our creator
and to love all of mankind
