Hear and Do - James 1: 21-25

The production of godly living
means to put filth and sin away
this is done by being meek
receive the implanted word to stay

Having this word for your souls good
so do what God’s words clearly says
but not just to hear these scriptures only
commit to do this in all your earthly days

Don’t be like that mirror  man
looks at himself then does forget
what he has seen there pone wonders
deceiving himself of who he has met

The one who will fully persevere
who’s seen freedom’s law perfectly
will act on what’s been heard
to do God’s revealed will correctly

This is indeed the blessed child of God
receiving grace from their merciful Lord


(James 1:21-25 
"Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of 
naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted 
word, which is able to save your souls.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, 
deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer 
of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man
beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth 
himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth
what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into 
the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, 
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.")
