Getting Priorities Straight

Honoring commitments Is healing though you're sick For soul has many aspects And Love is not a trick. The contracts that you honor Give you more faith in man And that which helps your brother Enriches your lifespan. With facets like a diamond, Restated Golden Rule, Shines light in many corners, Not covenant of fool. Still Kantian confusion Can lead a man astray And boundaries too complex Can hamper human play. Remember you’re forgiven The Father loves His child, Man’s deepest expectations, Reveal a soul that’s wild. It’s knowing you’re a sinner That shows the path that’s true And longing for the Father That tells us what to do. Brian Johnston January 23, 2016
