Through God Alone

If it would have been Or I could have seen This war within I wouldn't be between If the sun had come out And the rain ceased My puzzle, no doubt Would be pieced Just a few dollars more To fill my pocket My success would soar You couldn't stop it If I could just get I need only acquire This log would fit In my tiny fire But I recall the time I asked and received The one shiny dime Oh how I did need For a moment, I had The final piece A split second of glad Quickly deceased It wasn't long Till I yearned for more I had been dead wrong The devil did lure There exists no token For majestic living Jesus has spoken His life has been given Joy can be found Through God alone The only sound With perfect tone Thoughts of greed Enter my mind It's where they breed The most evil kind But I have the tools A God given gift To beat these fools When I filter and sift I'm intelligent enough To know without doubt Stuff is just stuff And Joy, it won't sprout I still fight these demons On a daily basis Full grown and their semen The most hideous faces But they are merely crows And I, the farmer Inspecting my rows In shining armor
