Analysis of Live in Love
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Be imitators of God,
As a beloved child;
Giving Him honor and laud,
Never to be defiled.
Walk in love as Christ does love,
Offering to sacrifice;
Who gave up Himself thereof,
A ransom that paid the price.
Lustful immorality,
Fornicate covetousness;
Such unclean impurity,
Pleasure in enviousness.
Let there be not foolish talk,
That leads to jokingly crude;
Rather thanking as you walk,
Never trying to be rude.
The sexually impure,
And virtually unclean;
Sickness in needing to cure,
No inheritance is seen.
Let nobody deceive you,
Having disobedience;
Empty words that are not true,
That God has taken offense.
