From Romans 12:1-2: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

True Christians, marked by God
Born again, in Jesus Christ
Love always be genuine
Grasping all of life’s goodwill
Forsaking evil’s shadows
God’s presence never stands still
Cherishing one another
Actions bring honor to all
Serving Heavenly Father
Holy Spirit’s blessings call
Rejoicing, tomorrow’s hope
Enduring patience, breathing
Persevering in prayer
Rejoicing, tomorrow’s hope
Enduring patience, breathing
Persevering in prayer
Christ builds durable sheathing
Assisting with others’ needs
Sharing kindness with many
Walk as brothers and sisters
Heaven’s home offers plenty
Stay noble, take life’s high road
Hungry rivals, feed with love
Live as one, in harmony
Good News comes from God above

From Romans 12:19-21: “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’ No, ‘if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.’ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
