Man's Duty To God - Ecclesiastes 12: 13
'Let us hear' seems so simple to do
but how often is our eardrums so dull
as if not concerned whether we do hear
better be sure before God calls for a cull
God always looks for a conclusion
He brings out the facts before our eyes
making us consider the whole matter
for He has in store a heavenly prize
When we read the words 'fear God'
what does it bring to our mind?
is it a cringing fear or a holy reverence?
God urges us to recognise He's holy kind
God has given us directives for life
these are for our good if we obey
clearly God seeks honesty and truth
for His glory and honour, He seeks daily
All of this God calls to all his creation
for this is the absolute whole duty of man
obey His commandments with a full heart
receiving blessings untold within God's clan
("Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this
is the whole duty of man." )
~ Ecclesiastes 12:13
