"pearl Or Peril"
Oh such awesome excuses we make
When at first our minds begin to quake
We need to find a neighbor’s mistake
Doesn’t it really just take the cake
Excuses we make, are of our minds fake
Flesh loves to see, brother of low degree
For the carnal need a place to pea
Shall we never consciously see
That he is just as good as we
Of God’s love___ created equally
Love thy brother as thine own self
Love him with all substance you have left
God did not make us of any junk
Made we all from the same hunk
Shall we all flunk__ as junk’s, carnal self
Be good as gold, to your own neighbor
Unto your brother, lend Love’s saber
Line your line upon, ‘Love’s precept’
Look not for a brother’s missed_ step
Cast not your peril__ swine, ‘Ye of carnal mind’!!!!
Love is never of any low degree
Something upon which a swine should pea
Why, these swine pea, upon you and me
Though Love say, “just let the tares be””
The world has chosen it’s own peril, you see!!!!
Love’s pearl, not of the world, be of great price
Perfectly proved self, in sacrifice
Left no room for a mind of vice
Life owns death, by Love’s sacrifice
The choice be clear, and the time is near!!!!!
Let Moses’ love be totally clear
My heart unto you, I have poured out
From an open window___ heaven’s spout
Believe or disbelieve, your’s to conceive
City light awaits__ I’ve opened the gates!!!!!!!
