Analysis of Carrying Burdens
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Let the one who has been taught,
All good things with who teaches;
Sharing the Word that who sought,
Passing to the far reaches.
God is not mocked or deceived,
Whatever one sows they reap;
Abundance will be received,
If the Commands, they will keep.
For one who sows his own skin,
Will be reaping corruption;
He will be harvesting sin,
Having strife through affliction.
One who sows to the Spirit,
Will then reap eternal life;
And rewarded for merit,
Guarding against any strife.
Grow not weary doing good,
In due season we will reap;
If we faint not then we should,
Not have an eternal sleep.
So then as we have a chance,
Let us do good unto all;
Allowing faith to advance,
Without stumbling in a fall.
As many to desire,
In making a fair showing;
What the cross does inspire,
From crucified blood flowing.
Far be it from me should I boast,
Shine in glory of the cross;
Knowing the heavenly host,
Has all to gain from His loss.
For neither circumcision counts,
Nor should the uncircumcised;
Not in having any doubts,
As a new creature baptized.
For all who walk by His rule,
Peace and mercy be on them;
Never considered a fool,
That God will never condemn.
