Seven Sins and MoreA Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader
Seven Sins and More Seven deadly sins Ruination of the soul Each one breeds the next Lust, gluttony and greed Envy pride and sloth comes next Wrath is the seventh Sins more than seven Sin of hate now comes to mind Anger leads to hate Adultery is ten To covet is eleven Murder counts up twelve Stealing is a sin A thief takes what is not his Now we’ve reached thirteen Sin rolls off the tongue To lie and bear false witness Fourteen and fifteen Misuse of God’s Name We curse others; they curse back Sixteen is the count Sabbath is God’s Day But do we keep it holy A sin in God’s Eye In this day and age Children rebuke their parents They do not honor Hurt the little ones Parents abuse their children To their damnation Cleave to needless things Idol worship forbidden We make them our Gods Twenty sins I see One more is the worst of all Reject Jesus Christ How can we know sin? Hold it up before God’s face If you fear, it’s sin Have you fallen short? Beware your sinful nature Mankind’s fall from grace Mankind’s Salvation Jesus Christ died for your sins Back into God’s Grace
