Draw Close To God

In a dark world
draw close to God
remember this advice
His Word will light your path

Repent
Ask God to forgive your sins
follow Him with all your heart
in Jesus, make a fresh start

Seek Knowledge
Build your house on solid ground
do not build in sinking sand
read the Bible to understand

Forgive
Forgive as He forgave you
love your friends and enemies
spread His love for all to see

Pray
Prayers to God will keep Him close
converse with Him in all you do
He will always see you through

Thank you, Dan! This form looks easy but was a challenge for me. Still not sure if I got it right.
