My little grandmother aka, Tiger Lillie, she strutted her stuff dancing across the floor, singing her little song that went something like this: “While you’re waiting for pie in the sky, when God paid the price for you. I’m having some ham right where I am, cause God’s got the T-bone too.” This poem was inspired by her. Thank you grand mommy.
GOD’S GOT THE T-BONE TOO
If not but for His glory
Shall I have peace within,
For the life that I now have in Him,
above a life of sin.
That all the days of struggle
to survive the heat of day,
To bear the scoffing and of scorn,
For a brighter day.
For the structure of a promise,
each brick to represent,
The journey of faith of pain, and loss,
The counted cost well spent.
Why only believe for pie in the sky,
where a mansion awaited me,
I’ll believe Him for ham, right where I am,
Not just from sin I’m free
While you fret and fear about what to eat,
I know just what to do,
Don’t have to wait, between then and now
God’s got the T-bone too.
