Notes About The Poem

This is what and how I believe. I honor what and how you believe as long as it doesn't harm other people in mind or body.

It's Not How We Do Believe

It's Not How We Do Believe
By Franklin Price

It's not how we do believe
But in whom we do believe
That will get us through heaven's pearly gates
It's not entering the church
Every time the doors are open
Or listening to Christ's preaching delegates

If we need  the extra hedge
If daily life's driving a wedge
In your belief that Jesus is the way the light
Then church is there for you
And it's something you should do
To confirm for you that your path is right

The path is doing all we can
While believing in the Lord
Who died on that lonely cross for you and me
That he gave his life for us
To forgive us of our sins
And when we die we will in heaven be

It's honoring his way
Doing good from day to day
Doing all we can to help our fellow man
Honor home and family
Be the best friend we can be
To join Jesus on the day we kick the can

Don't chastise my having fun
For me that's how it's done
Jesus wouldn't want us sad but very droll
If we practice what we preach
Heaven's well within our reach
Jesus saves our very undeserving souls
