Inasmuch
As you are my sister
I will help you
When life blisters
Inasmuch
As you are my brother
In your need
You need not bother
Inasmuch
As we are children of God
I will stand with you
At home or abroad
Inasmuch
As we do it for the least
We do it for Jesus
And for peace
Inasmuch
As Christ died for us
We are bonded
In the blood of Jesus
Inasmuch
As he came in the past
He will come gain
This we must grasp
Nine times in the Bible
We find this word
Twice in the Old Testament
And seven in the New
Twice in Matthew
When Jesus spoke
And five other cases
When others wrote
Seeing that…
Or considering that…
Their one word meaning:
Inasmuch, in fact.
A caution to you
As it was to me
Inasmuch as it’s one word
And not three.
