THE LOST GET FOUND

 “Oh, once I realized I’d been a fool; intelligence appeared, right then and there. And when I understand that life’s a school, I think I better do some more ta care. ‘Cause kindness, that’s a skill I need ta learn, a grace I need ta practice every day. I gotta show some genuine concern, for love within my heart I ought ta pray. So, Heaven, Help me learn ta love much more, enough to cover all the earth around. ‘Cause love’s what many folks are waiting for, the freedom, peace, and joy of being Found! Lord, help me bring all those!”
