Simple Simon - J10 The teachings of Jesus (I)

Jesus taught sermons in scores, br On mount, boats and shores, br To set right the growing disorder br And bring in a new religious order. br br ABOUT SALT AND LIGHT br br 'You're of a special kind br Like salt, to all mankind. br If salt should lose its saltiness, br It then becomes worthless.' br br 'You're just like the light br That keeps the world so bright. br A city built atop a hill br Cannot remain hidden still.' br br 'A lamp, that is lit, br Under a basket, is not kept, br But mounted on a lamp-stand. br This all can understand.' br br 'All good things you do, br Will shine and bring you br A reward from heaven br That's for sure and certain.' br br ABOUT THE LAW br br The Law that Moses brought, br And what Prophets had taught, br Shall continue to remain: br Be sure, it'll not be undone.' br br 'One who follows the same, br The Lord will note his name, br The Kingdom of heaven; br He'll reach; it's certain.' br br ABOUT ANGER br br 'Anger will blind a person, br Denying him heaven, br And lead him to hell; br This much I wish to tell.' br br 'Don't try to fool anyone, br That'll let you face a trial then. br Better settle outside your dispute, br Than fight it in a court.' br br ABOUT ADULTERY br br 'Besides the crime 'adultery', br He'll be judged guilty br Even for looking at a woman br With a desire, her to own.' br br 'If your right eye sins, br Remove it at once. br Losing one part is better, br Than being a hell-getter.' br br ABOUT DIVORCE br br 'No husband should divorce br His wife for any silly cause, br Except for her unfaithfulness, br That is deemed madness.' br br ABOUT VOWS br br 'Any promise you make, br Never attempt to break br Don't swear by heaven, br For it is God's throne.
