As the Lord's prisoner, I beg you, walk worthy
Of your calling, humbly, with love, peace, unity.
There's one body, Spirit, hope, Lord, faith, baptism,
One Father God, above, through, in, all His children.
Christ descended, rose above all, and on grace's wings,
Apostles, prophets, preachers, pastors, teachers brings.
These will perfect, edify, mature us each day,
Until we are like Christ, not children lies can sway.
Walk not as others who work all manner of sin,
But put off the old, put on the new man within.
Be truthful, sin not through temper, steal not, work, love,
Minister and forgive e'en as God above.
