Instead of Tears Shed

Instead of Tears Shed God guess what here I am as usual again After having gone through thick and then That You helped me work my way out of Using great ability filled with much love. About God often would begin to truly think Of how deep dirty dishes are in stupid sink Knowing it was God's help I should elect With all His great audacious cleansing affect. Really makes no difference how hard I try God cleaned up my life and it did purify So with you more of Him I should share Dishonor God no not me would never dare. Wheels keep spinning and life goes on And suddenly something on me just did dawn After almost going slowly fast asleep in bed Instead of tears shed prayers I should have said. Wow. Say that without biting your tongue. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
