How Do We Become True Disciples

How do we become true disciples
Of our Lord Jesus Christ?
Save by proclaiming divine principles
Through the way we live our lives

Let's love God with all our hearts
Till it overflows unto all man
Becoming a healing that imparts
Power to further His pure plan

This initiates good friendships,
Tolerance, civility, and respect
While overcoming divisiveness
Unto divine hope bright to detect

Since God is love, we can seek and find Him
In the bounties and beauty of nature
In the gentle whisperings of the Spirit
And, in the laughter of children we nurture

If we listen, we'll feel so nobly
The pure love given of Jesus the Christ
For as we grow and become more holy
There's more light with which to align our lives

If we listen, then we shall experience
The blessings of Jesus' pure love
As striving to grow e'er more holy
We align with God's light from above

The Love of God
