Believe

He doesn’t ask for much
for the path that he paved.
It’s such a small request
from the lives that he saved.

He made it easy for us
to follow ten simple commands.
He even gave us prayers
that echo across the lands.

He never breaks his promises.
Heaven’s eternity we will receive.
Blessings, graces, and everlasting life
for those who truly believe.
