John 14:15

John 14:15
 15 ¶If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Sonnet 746 John 14:15

Commandments are a blessing from on high
The inside scoop on how to live your days
Precautions against trouble coming nigh
A compass to direct all means and ways.

Commandments are a blessing from the Lord
Decoding all the mysteries of life
Protection much more potent than the sword
A shield against a world of constant strife.

Commandments are a blessing for the wise
A coach, an aide, a help, a lift, a right
A gift, a boon, a good, a strength, a prize
A way, a truth, a life, a rock, a light.

Commandments are a blessing from above
The means for God and man to share their love.
