Deliberate Sin Warning
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Think about the former days,
After you were enlightened;
Hard struggles that were always,
The sufferings that frightened.
Being publicly exposed,
To reproach and affliction;
Secrets that had been disclosed,
Of an earthly addiction.
For you had the compassion,
Joyfully took plundering;
Desire for possession,
Of a lustful wandering.
Throw not away confidence,
Great recompense of reward;
But repent for your offense,
Confessing unto the Lord.
You have need for endurance,
About that when you have done;
Start showing your resistance,
Coming from immoral fun.
In a while expect the Son,
Who will come without delay;
Judging by what you had done,
At the times you went astray.
Live by faith being righteous,
Without immoral pleasure;
God will be serving justice,
Before He gives you treasure.
We are not those who draw back,
Those with faith preserves their soul;
Since God provides what we lack,
At our helm in control.
