LOTW Arrangement1 Tim 2.9 REPREHENSION/ 2 Pe 2.1 EXHORTATION

My Master, will you hear my grievance?
It fills me with great remorse,
My soul weeps unspeakable wailings,
In light of ungodliness.
CHORUS
False preachers are shameless in their consent //of wickedness,//
But with the coming of Christ the King, //justice will come//,
Their conscience will then awake at last,
For they did not stand and obstruct all sin;
The Lord will hear no excuses then, //soon He will come//
To pay recompense to all mankind for all their sin.
2
Revealing and unfitted clothing,
Are not marks of holiness,
New trends, fancy rings and bright jewels.
Attempt against piety.
3
With flamboyant hairdos and clothing,
The young and the old adorn;
Their teachers consent to these actions,
In hell they will see their end.
4
The women who show they are pious,
Are clad in all honesty;
Upholding a modest, meek conduct,
These are fruits of holiness.
5
False teachers proclaim they are living
In truth and in holiness;
Their teaching of error and blunder,
Confirms they are blind as well.
6
False teachers who preach of God's doctrine,
And speak of the righteous path;
Allowing the people to falter,
