PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD!

 “Dig, where an idol’s worshiped, madness rules; please, don’t ya choose a savior-substitute! When, desperate souls become an idol’s fools, that idol still ain’t gonna give a hoot! An idol cannot care, it’s got no heart; a human can approximate that state. An idol’s got no brain, it isn’t smart! Let’s love and pray, the hour’s getting late! We’ve got ta turn our Ship of State around, stop sailing off ta savage other lands! In Beauty, Love, and Truth the Christ is found, in every human heart that understands! Which shall I choose, the Lord, or something else? Will I decide ta love, or just not care? Am I ta share, or just indulge my self? If we’d have peace, the path we must prepare!”

AWESOME LOVE CAN CHANGE A HEART


Now, love can open up a hardened heart, with faith, might need some perseverance, too. Can’t buy these things inside a supermart – might need to show more tender care, from you! So, please, don’t hesitate to show you care, ‘cause love’s the stuff to which a heart responds. To love is what a pilgrim ’s got to dare, if you would help to break another’s bonds! Be careful, kind, and peaceful, patient, too; you might not see results in just one day. But if you persevere, they just might get a clue... and know they're loved in quite an awesome way! Hallelujah, baby!
