Two Sacred Commands

Our lives are open before His eyes,
Our purpose: walk and do not stray.
Our steps find paths both day and night,
The ways we’re called to follow.

If we turn away, lose the way,
Forget the path set before,
Know this: God will call us – He will not fail,
He shows mercy, forgives, restores.

Listen, precious ones, listen now –
We’re all sinners on this earth,
Yet the Lord will not leave us, never fear,
He hears every heart’s cry, every burden.

God asks so little, truly I say –
Just love Him with heart, with soul.
Love your neighbor, the one by your side,
And the straight path will appear.
