THE
LORD'S CHURCH
Let us reason now together (Isa. 1:18)
That
we all might learn and know (John 8: 32)
What
the Holy Bible teaches (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
Of
our Lord who loves us so. (1 John 4:11)
Follow
each and ev'ry ref'rence (2 Tim. 2;15)
Of
quotations written down (2 Tim. 4:11)
For
they're of the Holy Scriptures (John 5:39)
As
you read where they are found. (Luke 11:10)
Study
them from ev'ry angle (Acts 17:11)
Don't
believe just what you've heard (1 John 4:1)
For
it may not be the gospel (Gal. 1:6-9
We
must take God's Holy Word. (John 12:49; Prov. 30:5-6)
Christ
who shed His blood on Calv'ry (Luke 23:33)
Paid
the debt for you and me (Heb. 2:9)
Said
that if we'll all obey Him (Acts 5:29)
We'll
be saved eternally. (Heb. 5:9)
We
must try to help each other (Isa. 41: 6)
And
seek things which are above (Col. 3:1)
So
we'll be with Christ our Savior (John 14:3)
And
with God, of whom is love. (1 Cor. 15:24)
Although
some who've read the Bible (Matt. 21:42)
Yet,
don't seem to learn God's plan (2 Tim. 3:7)
That
there's only one salvation (Acts 4:12)
Which
He's given unto man. (John 10:28)
For
it is so clearly stated (Rom. 16:16)
Read
Collos'ans, and you'll see (Col. 1:18)
That
there's just one Church His body (Eph. 4:4)
Just
as plain as plain can be. (Heb. 2:2-3; Matt. 16:18)
Now
turn next to book Ephesians (Eph. 4:4-6)
The
fourth chapter, keep in mind (Eph. 4:11-13)
Where
Paul spoke on this same subject (Eph. 4:14_16)
And
which won't be hard to find (1 Tim 1:3)
Some
have organized their churches (1 Cor. 3:2-11)
Which
are built upon the sand (Matt. 7:26-27)
For
they're not found in the Bible (Jer. 10:23-24)
And
therefore, they'll never stand. (Ps. 127:1)
God
has said He will destroy them (2 Thess. 2:8-9; Hos. 4:5-6)
On
that great and noble day (1 Cor. 3:10-13)
If
they're not built by the pattern (Titus 2: 7-8)
Of
the truth, the living way. (John 8:31-32)
Men
who've written deeds and doctrines (Matt. 15: 7-9: Prov. 14:12)
They
are sure to get a shock (2 Thess. 1: 7-9)
If
they don't quit their rebelling (Eph. 4:18)
And
all build upon the rock. (Matt. 7:24-25)
Take
for instance pour or sprinkle (Rom. 10:3)
Those
who do so are not wise (1 Cor. 3: 18-20)
For
the Holy Ghost, through Peter (Acts 2:4, 14)
Said
on Pentecost, baptize. (Acts 2: 37-38)
And
to baptize is the likeness (Rom. 6:5)
Which
the Bible plainly shows (Rom. 6:3-4)
Of
our Lord when He was buried (Col. 2:12)
And
also when He arose. (Col. 2:12; Rom. 6:6-9)
They
must also be believers (Mark 16: 15-16)
Old
enough to understand (Prov. 3:13)
And
which statement was made clearly (Matt. 10:32)
By
our Savior's last command. (Matt. 28:19-10)
Children
do not have such knowledge (Isa. 28:9)
Of
the Bible we all know (Prov. 9:10)
For
the first book of Corinth'ans (1 Cor. 13:11)
Emphatic'ly
tells us so. (1 Cor. 14: 20)
Turn
to Luke the eighteenth chapter (Luke 18:16)
And
the sixteenth verse you'll see (Matt. 18:3)
Jesus
said they're of the kingdom (Matt. 19: 13-14)
Just
as plain as plain can be. (1 Pet. 2:2)
We
should not neglect our duty (Heb. 10:24-25)
To
partake of bread and wine (1 Cor. 11: 24-25)
On
each Lord's Day, as a Christian (Acts 20:7)
And
which helps our light to shine. (Matt. 5:14-16)
Once
a month some have this service (Heb. 2:1-4)
Just
to suit a man's made way (Prov. 16:25)
But
if they will read their Bibles (Isa. 28:10)
They
will find out it won't pay. (Matt. 15:14)
For
you'll find that it's recorded (John 13:15)
The
apostles met to seek (Luke 22:19-20)
In
partaking of the supper (1 Cor. 10:16-17)
On
the first day of the week. (Acts 20:7)
And
we know that Jesus taught them (Matt. 5:2)
The
apostles what to do. (Matt. 7:21)
Guiding
us for the future (1 Cor. 11:1)
Like
of which themselves went through. (1 Pet. 2:21-24; Rom 8:17)
Now
the present dispensation (Heb. 9:15)
Was
made for both you and me (Heb. 2:9)
As
the old law, passed forever (Col. 2:14)
When
Christ died on Calvary. (Luke 23:33)
This
shows us we should be careful (1 Tim. 4:16)
Of
the things we've learned or heard (Luke 8:18; John 6:45)
For
we're told in Revelation (Rev. 22:18)
We
must not add to His word. (Prov. 30:6)
Or
if any part's deducted (Deut. 12:32)
It
will cause a world of strife (James 3:16)
For
God meant, in this same chapter (Rev. 22:19)
Either
way, we'd lose our life. (Matt. 16:26)
Paul,
who was the great apostle (1 Tim 1:1)
Only
told us all to sing (Eph. 5:19)
And
that's why we do not use them (Col. 3:16)
Organs,
harps, nor anything. (1 Cor. 14: 15)
Now
as to the contribution (Rom. 15:26)
We
should always do our part (2 Cor. 9:6-7)
Giving
as we have been prospered (1 Cor. 16:2)
And
which must come from our heart. (2 Chron. 31:21)
For
God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor. 9:6-7)
It's
a deed we should not shun (Luke 17: 10)
He
will bless us if we'll do so (Luke 12:43)
Which
He's told us ev'ry one. (Acts 20:35)
There
are some who get real angry (Prov. 1:7; Matt. 5:22)
When
we try to give them light (Eph. 5:8,13)
Which
pertains to their salvation (Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:10)
And
we know this is not right. (Ecc. 7:9)
Ev'ry
one of whom despises (Matt. 5: 44)
Our
work we're trying to do (2 Tim. 4:5)
Of
the church of Christ remember (Rom. 16:16)
It's
God's word, not ours to you. (Luke 11:28)
We
should all be open-minded (Rom 12:16)
To
receive His word with care (James 1:21-25)
If
we're prejudice, or stubborn (1 Sam. 15:23)
We
will not get anywhere. ( Prov. 21:16)
We
should think upon these subjects (Eph. 3:20)
For
Phillip'ans, four and eight (Phil. 4:8)
Tells
us that we all should do so (Phil. 4:13)
Then
we should not hesitate. (1 Cor. 10:12)
It
is light from earth to heaven (Matt. 4:16; John 8:12)
And
there is no other way (John 14:6; Matt. 7:13-14)
But
the simple, plain, pure Gospel (Rom. 1:16; Prov. 8:9-11)
While
on earth we must obey. (Rom. 10:16; 1 Pet.4:17)
If
the faith which you're believing (Eph. 4:5; Rom. 10:17)
Can't
be proven by God's plan (1 Thess. 5:21)
Then
why not reject the precepts. (Titus 1:14)
Which
were gotten up by man. (Mark 7: 8-9)
God
said we must face the judgment (2 Cor. 5:10)
Yes,
He'll try us ev'ry one (Rom 14:10-12)
By
the book which will be opened (Rev. 20 12; John 12:48)
Of
the things of which we've done. (Rom. 2:6-11)
But
there'll be no condemnation (Rom. 8:1)
If
we'll worship, work and pray (James 2:14, 20, 24)
Live
by nothing but the Gospel (Heb. 10:38; Rom. 10:17)
We'll
be ready on that day. (2 Tim. 4: 7-8)
Let's
not desire this world of wealth (Luke 12: 15; 1 Tim. 6:17)
But
only God's spirit and power (2 Tim. 1:7)
To
help us with what thoughts we have (Heb. 4;12)
For
the good of mankind each hour. (Gal. 6:10)
