~ The Test
~
My
ole daddy used to tell me
Mind yours, leave theirs alone
God knows their every intention
He can hear it in their tone
Nothing escapes the Lord, son
True forgiveness will surely
last
Repeated sin over and over again
Let final judgment be His task
Mend the fence that needs mendin'
Don’t try to fix what ain’t
broke
Never waste a day with what
folks say
God does hear every thought
spoke
Laugh loud and long when ya can
Just cry when ya need to cry
Trust Him in everything that
happens
Try to refrain from asking why
Let gossip live in the ears who
speak it
Meanness will grow wherever it
can
Turn the other cheek as often as
needed
God will tell ya when to make
your stand
Work hard as long as ya can work
Sakes alive, rest when ya need
to rest
Always give thanks in good times
or bad
Because in the end there’s gonna
be a test
Those words echo like distant
thunder
In this heart they will forever
last
With a little work, and Godly
direction
It’s a simple test that we all
can pass...
