[K. Bachman, J. Daub, D. Baddorf, H. Kraft]



What good would result for a man

By gaining the world but losing his soul?

Love not the world

Or the wrath of the Father you will behold



Do not conform to evil

The desires conceived in ignorance

Choosing to befriend the world

Brings hatred from God as a consequence



DEATH, SIN

Extraction From Mortality

WORDLY REJECTION

Deliverance from agony



Men would love you as their own

If you belonged to this earthly realm

Mankind hates the ones

Who do not conform but rebel



Everyone born of God

Will not face eternal decay

Death they will overcome

The ways of man will pass away



Be transformed by renewing

The intentions and thoughts of your mind

Your life must be hidden in Christ

Leaving the corrupted flesh behind
