A Living Sacrifice
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I appeal to you, brothers,
By the mercy of the Lord;
Be kind to all the others,
And worship is not ignored.
Be a living sacrifice,
Holy and acceptable;
So others you can entice,
And they are perceptible.
It’s your spiritual worship,
To this world be not conformed;
Do not spread any gossip,
But spiritually transformed.
Renew your mind and your heart,
That tests you and may discern;
His will gives you a new start,
Spiritually you will learn.
