Why Meet Together

The first century Christians
Set the example
When they met together
It served as a sample

Showing the benefits
Of the organization
Caring for sheep
In the congregation

With Judas’ betrayal
There was a need
To fill his spot
Pressing indeed

Matthias was chosen
To complete the twelve
Into the prophecies
The apostles delved

Holy Spirit directed
Them to take action
God would not allow them
To remain a fraction

Twelve foundation stones
Were required then
From those who had witnessed
Christ’ resurrection

The first congregation
Met in that upper room
One hundred twenty in person
There was no one on zoom

Mary was there
With four of her sons
This made Jesus happy
Looking down on those ones

Jesus would serve as head
Yes he takes the lead
His loving guidance
The brothers do well to heed

Maintaining the unity
Upbuilding each other
Inciting love and fine works
In all of our brothers

May we never neglect
Our meeting together
To be there in person
May we always endeavor
