Footsteps
The son follows in his father's footsteps,
Imitating the elder's way of life;
For he earnestly wants to make himself
Far away from trouble, chaos, and strife.
The conduct of his beloved father
Is in accordance with the righteousness;
Such simple but complete submission
To God brings him victory and success.
His father's thought, word, and deed
Are a pattern worthy to emulate;
The mind and the heart are both focused
On really reaching the new heaven's gate.
The son's divine desire before God
Is to complete the race set by the Lord;
As he treads on the right path of journey,
Backsliding is one thing he can't afford.
He renders his holy worship service
The way that the Almighty God accepts;
It is taught to him by his father,
So he decides to choose the fine footsteps.
