Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Follow On the Upright Way -Proverbs 16: 17

Look ahead and move on
see God's hand as your guide
don't let your eyes drop at all
tell all to the Lord and confide

Each step on the highway
is one closer away from doom
evil would love to claim you
make sure you give it no room

The key to unlock this way
is turn it away from evil's door
thus then protection is in force
making sure threats are no more

Be determined to keep straight
no diverting from the true way
this preserves your very soul
on this highway everlastingly stay

("The highway of the upright
is to depart from evil:
he that keepeth his way
preserveth his soul.")

 ( ~ Proverbs 16:17)
