Eating Out
My momma and my papa
we eat out once a month;
not too near and not too far
a nice and quiet lunch.
We went this time for chicken
they make it oh! so well;
it's all the same, no difference
i taste it, oh! so swell!
As i was having dinner
a lady thus appeared;
confirmed she was a sinner
abused me, that i feared!
It lasted for a long time
i prayed and prayed and prayed;
a way out i couldn't find
His mercy thus delayed.
It ended as it started
persecution ended;
the Lord thus He remembered
my plight the Christ upended.
She went quiet for a while
forgave her in my heart;
all the evil and its viles
rejected thus depart.
Thus a moment's repentance
lost and found and saved;
the Lord required penance
a prayer full of grace.
I told her to pray to God
in all your honesty;
say sorry to the Lord
find love to set you free.
Thus we know that God does care
the evil He unbinds;
to the righteous He is fair
when i eat and drink and dine!
This lesson, harsh be told
you are never just alone;
seek His prayers manifold
He is Faithful! let's atone!
Help is just a prayer away
deny that not my friend;
when thy friends to thee betray
Christ knows thee, He's a Man!
His miracles thus daily
just seek, and pray and hope;
for Christ is Lord, yes! really!
to His Glory we devote!
Amen!
