Be now imitators of your Lord;
You’re His children
through His love outpoured.
Let love show now in all you do,
As Christ loved and gave
Himself for you,
As a sacrifice to God.
All impurity put far away.
Don’t be greedy;
watch the things you say.
These aren’t proper
for God’s dear children;
You will never gain
the wealth of Heaven,
In the kingdom of Christ and God.
Don’t be taken in by empty words;
Those who disobey,
God’s wrath incur.
You were darkness,
but now you’re light;
Let your life be good
and true and right,
And find out what pleases God.
Stay away from fruitless deeds,
Done in secret out of lust and greed.
Let Christ’s light shine
on all that’s dark,
And expose what’s
missed God’s mark.
Bring to light every sinful act.
So be careful in the things you do;
Act with wisdom in
whate’er you pursue.
Make the most of every hour;
Don’t let evil exercise its power.
Be not foolish, but know God’s will.
Let the Spirit now your life control,
And let psalms and hymns
flow from your soul.
In your heart, speak to God and sing,
Giving thanks for everything,
In the name of Jesus Christ.
