Beneficial – v5

Whatever is good,

whatever is beneficial,

God’s offer of grace

on the altar of the cross

releases us from the Law.

All is permissible, all is allowed

by our choice, our will;

but not all is beneficial

for the raising up of the body,

for the people of Christ.

The flock of the Shepherd

the seeds we have scattered

to gather more to Him,

to prepare for the kingdom

for life in paradise.
