What Doth the Lord Require

What doth the Lord require
Asked the prophet Micah
The answer seems so simple

Be fair with all we meet
Treat everyone with respect
Be sure to share your love

Show mercy and grace to everyone
Be tolerant and forgive
Walk humbly and give God the glory

And that's what He requires
These are simple things
For a complex world

They're not so easy, you may say
But they are right for sure
If done with love and grace

The Lord is pleased, justice served
Our souls are saved
In heaven we'll take our place*
