To live
a lie
Until
we die
Makes
of us weary men.
To answer,
"No"
When
He says, "Go"
Makes
of us sinful men.
To close
our eye
While
sin goes by
Makes
of us wicked men.
To have
while here
A stubborn
ear
Makes
of us foolish men.
To be
to all
A solid
wall
Makes
of us sturdy men.
To go
when sent
Our
way not bent
Makes
of us righteous men.
To right
a wrong,
To help
along,
Makes
of us holy men.
To heed
His call
And
never stall
Makes
of us wisest men.
To live
that life
Through
all the strife
Makes
of us happy men.
