rules, boundaries – v3

freedom bound
by the commands of Jesus
to love only God and
our neighbors as ourselves
to love as Christ loves us
without condition, or cost,
rules, boundaries
to guide us in our walk

the rules to help us
not to harm us
to cage, to tame us
rules, boundaries,
“Thou Shall Not’s”,
lines in scripture
we shall not cross
to guide us in our walk

the rules identify us
to show we are followers
disciples of Christ
freedom bound
to guide us in our walk
out of love, mercy;
gathered one day
to our home above.

and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full.”
