You pull me up
with your words
of encouragement
giving my feet a

In the middle of the night
when owls are having their lunch

caused an earthquake when it
reached the ground on the day He

I plant seed but not get any harvest

your purpose in life would be to be kicked around by people
imagine you are a cricket ball
being hit by a stick

I swung the door of their mind open
Allowing the light of the Word of God
To penetrate causing every herd of darkness
To evacuate in a stampede

That old serpent crawled into the Garden of Eden
crafting a plan at the back of his mind
he waited near the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
his eyes on the lookout

she clearly heard its sound as it
came into contact with the tiles
on the floor
