True Godliness Poem by Shaila Touchton

Here is a poem version of the text:

Godliness is not just a face,
A polite demeanor, a gentle pace,
It's not about appearances or show,
But a deep transformation, as the heart grows.

It's not just being religious, or following the crowd,
But a commitment to live according to God's word, loud,
It's not about seeking validation, or social fame,
But a desire to please God, and live a life that's not tamed.

True godliness has a transforming power,
That makes us new, and gives us an hour,
To live for God, and not for self,
To die to sin, and live for someone else.

False godliness is a superficial display,
A mask that hides the truth, and leads astray,
It's a form of godliness, but without the power,
A mere imitation, that's not the real hour.

True godly people speak out, and warn,
Of God's coming judgments, and the need to turn,
They preach the gospel, and live a life that's true,
A life that's marked by integrity, and a heart that's new.

They don't indulge in sin, or compromise with the world,
They stand firm, and unwavering, like a flag that's unfurled,
They're not driven by selfish ambition, or a desire for fame,
But by a love for God, and a desire to live a life that's not tamed.

False godliness prioritizes ritual, over the heart,
It's a mere external show, that's not a work of art,
It's a form of hypocrisy, that's not the real thing,
A mere imitation, that's not the true king.

True godly people love the Lord, with all their heart,
Soul, mind, and strength, they play their part,
They're not influenced by negative people, or false teaching,
But by the word of God, and the power of His speaking.

They separate themselves, from all ungodliness,
And the things of this world, that are not of God's goodness,
They flee from sinful lifestyles, and pursue righteousness,
Godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.

They fight the good fight, of the faith, with all their might,
And they stand firm, in the truth, shining with all their light,
They're not deceived, by false teachings, or false prophets,
But by the word of God, and the power of His spirit.

So let us strive, to live a life that's true,
A life that's marked by godliness, and a heart that's new,
Let us stand firm, in the faith, and not be swayed,
By false teachings, or false prophets, that lead astray.
