Listen To Paul's Plea

LISTEN TO PAUL'S PLEA "I will pay it back, not to mention that you owe me your very self." Philemon 19 What do I owe, So many are in line. My country first, Or neighbors who are mine? Perhaps my family only, Deserves my debt. Maybe friends do not matter, My mind will not be set. An obligation is a virtue, Or perhaps it is a vice. It tasks the soul to answer, A solution would be nice. Man owes more than service, His fortune and his gold. To the God who gave him life, He owes his very soul. We are under solemn promise, To those whom we love. We are brought together, By Our Father up above. We gather debt in life, For the many things we seek. Not required for well being, Our wants never reach a peak. We then owe more, Than we can repay. Stress and trials in our life, Until another day. If obligations must control, Our life every day. Let it be to our God, Get on our knees and pray. RAYMOND V. MORGAN thank you Robert Hinshaw for the encouragement.
