Andrew Bovell Poet Prose Poetry

Love God and Live

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
And his righteousness, and all these things 
Shall be added unto you,
Love God & live.

Obey the living words of the Most High
And set not your heart on the things
That come afterwards 
Love God and Live.

But rather
Set your heart on the things Eternal,
On the Most High Himself
Love God and Live.

For he that soweth to the Spirit
Shall reap life
And he that soweth to the flesh 
shall reap corruption
Love God and Live.

For all His tender mercies 
And the blessings he gives,
Love God & Live.

Regardless of what you’ve done 
He is willing to forgive
Love God & Live.

Because life is sweet
And the fact that He gives it in abundance
That no other
Compares to life in Him
Love God and Live.

Because it is right 
And he is worthy of it
Love God and live

If not for all of these, 
Or for blessings untold,
If not for moral and
The need to be wise,
If not for the spice of life,
Then for the very sake of your soul
Accept the Savior’s Sacrifice
Love God and Live.
