Our Olive Plants: Brethren

Every Thursday, Around Our Table will feature one of our children's thoughts. It will be in whatever form they decide to express themselves. This section will be titled, 'Our Olive Plants,' with a subtitle of their selection. Enjoy!

~Brethren~

Love of the Brethren, pride of the pack.

Helping to gain what another might lack.

Serving as pages, individuals who are saved.

Fighting as knights for the victory claimed.

Together we are nothing, sinners hell bound

Under Christ, we are something, once lost, but ever found.

Purging our flocks of wolves who deny

The sovereignty of Christ, the Trinity on High.

But why?

Because we love our dear Brethren, and pray they are blessed

Let a hypocrite never enter and cast lies in our midst.

For our Church is the Body, the workers of Christ.

How can we honor God if our crowd disunites?

Let us stay joined together as a temple for Him.

Fitted in position to destroy any sin.

But why?

Because we love our dear brethren and there is no people like us

Sodom did fall for its vile, sensual progression.

Babel, the same, for its prideful conception.

But us? We will stand and draw closer to God.

Oh, Holy Spirit, let us ever the road of Love, trod!

And keep us in unity to our Master, the Father.

And why?

We love Him...He first loved us.
