HONOUR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER

When Jesus was a little child
His example showed the way,
to treat our parents with, respect and love
their every word obey.

The Father promised all who followed
His heavenly commands,
that we’d live long and be happy
on the earth, it was His plan.

Sometimes, when we forget to be
obedient, cause we’re mad,
we say the things that hurt them most
they’re wounded and so sad.

When they take us to their side
explain, what we did wrong,
our hearts break down in sorrow
we regret what we have done.

In tears we say we’re sorry
we’ll in the future try to be,
better sons and daughters
a happy family.

We are members of the family of God
and must ever strive to be,
obedient to His commands
a mirror of The Trinity.
