Obey
It is good to obay
For one cannot be lawful and in joy
One cannot be looking toward that he denies
One cannot lust after the flesh
He cannot look at law
He cannot look at the stone
For the stone nor law does not talk
It does not bring joy
It brings pain to loom at that which is no good
It is pain to obey a stone
It is love to obey that which life comes from
It is love to obey the commandments of the living
Not to see a dead law but the protection it gives the living
It is good to look forward to the eturnal love
It is good to be as a child
It is good to obey a living God
For one cannot be lawful and in joy
One cannot be looking toward that he denies
One cannot lust after the flesh
He cannot look at law
He cannot look at the stone
For the stone nor law does not talk
It does not bring joy
It brings pain to loom at that which is no good
It is pain to obey a stone
It is love to obey that which life comes from
It is love to obey the commandments of the living
Not to see a dead law but the protection it gives the living
It is good to look forward to the eturnal love
It is good to be as a child
It is good to obey a living God
