Strive For Peace and Holiness -Hebrews 12: 14-17
Make every effort to be at peace
not just with a few but everyone
holiness also is a definite must have
for without it, God's blocked out undone
God promises to provide His grace
but one needs to obtain it to not fail
kill off all bitter roots at the stem
for many fail being defiled to be in jail
One doesn't want to be like Esau
or be found sexually immorally sinful
this is falling into Satan's clutches
better live close to God be found faithful
Esau was found out selling His birthright
after a while God's blessing he did seek
but he was rejected no matter his tears
repentance had left him his future bleak
Learn these important lessons really well
peace and holiness you can't do without
for it's your passport to the eternal home
this Jesus said is what it's all about
(Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.)
