So Simple
So Simple
Some say it is only make-believe
and so the Israelites could not conceive
what God had in store,
and so Isaiah away doth fled
to the mountain top, where his clothes did shred
and cried "our message they don't believe dear Lord",
that their
ears made for hearing
did not hear,
and heart made for feeling
did not feel,
and eyes made for seeing
did not see,
and minds made for thinking
did not think,
and strength made for enduring
did not endure,
and necks made for turning
did not turn,
and hands made for mending
did not mend;
so, God was angered and jealous
thus made angry and jealous Israel
save 1000 times seven,
and gave the gift of Salvation to whom He Promised not:
those whose
ears made for hearing
did not hear,
and heart made for feeling
did not feel,
and eyes made for seeing
did not see,
and minds made for thinking
did not think,
and strength made for enduring
did not endure,
and necks made for turning
did not turn,
and hands made for mending
did not mend,
and so angered were they that they killed His Son,
thus fulfilling God's love for everyone,
that the world be not condemned but saved,
by Jesus Christ beyond the grave,
who paid the price
with his sacrifice
and gave us what we truly desire
everlasting life
to live in love and not in strife
nor everlasting death by fire,
and in our happiness
from our mouths by what we confessed
receive God's everlast love that we might possess
ears for hearing,
a heart for feeling,
eyes for seeing,
a mind for thinking,
strength for enduring,
necks for turning,
and hands for mending
that so simply if we believe,
in our heart and with mouth profess,
God is our providence
death shall become powerless,
that everlasting life will be our reward.
Romans 10
