Stand with our Creator, don’t sit with those who sneer
Walk with our Redeemer, don’t stand with those who sin
Run with our Sustainer, don’t walk with those who scoff
Listen to God’s Word
Learn God’s Wisdom
Live God’s Love
Grow tall in faith
Spread wide in hope
Root strongly in love
Drink deeply of God’s mercy
Share generously of God’s good fruits
Prosper fully in God’s care
If I
Sit with those who sneer
Stand with those who sin
Walk with those who scoff
Ignore God’s Word
Lust after foolishness
Live resentfully, enviously
With stunted growth
Bare branches
Withered leaves
Blown every which way
By whims and winds of fancy
Prospering in nothing important
Then my life
Breaks
Withers
Blows away
We lose our way
When we do not walk with God.
