Praise

An old farmer, his wife and little daughter,  had dinner in their farm house before going to sleep,

A gang of four thieves, showed up on the farm in a dirty, old truck,  to steal sheep,

They broke into the house at Mid night, threw  the woman and little girl against the wall and then beat up the old man, until he began to leap,

Afterwards the thieves dragged the poor family outside,  as they invaded the manger and began loading the cattle unto their rugged, old  truck, along with bags of grain, in heaps,

The little girl then looked up to the sky and cried out,
 "we wanna see you here, we wanna you now, we wanna see you, face to face,  oh Lord!, surrounded by your glory,  thieves are feasting on your table,  we wanna see you face to face, oh Lord", pitifully, 

Out of the poultry house, a cock crowed aloud then all the chickens  crowed along, accordingly, 

A sheep bleat, then all the sheep began to bleat behind the truck, responsively, 

A bull mowed, then all the cows began to mow simultaneously, 

The little girl cried out again, "we wanna see you here, 
we wanna see you now,  we wanna see you face to face,  
Oh Lord,
surrounded by your glory, thieves are feasting on your table,  we wanna see you face to face, oh Lord",

Immediately, the east wind blew and then the birds began to whistle, melodiously, 

Thereafter,  a toad crocked, then toads began to crock, sequentially,

A wolf howled and then wolves began howling in the thick woods, collectively, 

Then the mother,  cried out saying, "in your presence there is power, 
The injured farmer responded saying, "in your presence there is healing",
and their little daughter contributed, "in your presence our lives are saved, we wanna see you face to face, oh Lord, repeatedly, 

From above an Eagle screamed, stretched out its wings and began to soar, while the clouds  formed a thunderstorm rapidly,

Thereabout, a lion roared from a great distance mysteriously, 

and then lightening struck against the robbers truck aggressively,
 the engine knocked down totally, 
the head lights twinkled randomly,
and the horns began to beep, uncontrollably but rhythmically,

So there was a moment of silence,  during which a whirl wind, rotated around the old Bartered farmer, after which he stood up on his feet, miraculously, 

Then the thieves began to sing angrily,  saying, 
"we are going, going nowhere,  we are surrounded by your glory, yes we are feasting on your table, but we are going, going nowhere, 
We wanna see you here, we wanna see you now, we wanna see you face to face, oh Lord ",
Rebelliously,

So a crow crowed, a crack opened up in the ground, 
the smell of sulphur erupted disgustingly,
Then the devil replied the thieves saying, "you are coming,  coming,  down here, 
 you are coming down here, you are surrounded by my demons, 
there is fire on my table, 
I will roast you, up, roast you up, down here!, arrogantly,

Then the captives in he'll, cried out in anguish saying,  we wanna see you here, we wanna see you now, we wanna see you face to face oh Lord,  we are sorry Lord,  we are sorry lord, we are sorry down here , oh Lord, pathetically, 

But a voice replied from heaven saying,  He'll no!, Subsequently, 

At once the ground closed up, then the thieves fell down on their knees in fear and reference to God, saying, 
"you are brooding over every darkness, 
you are causing light to shine from darkness, 
we are sorry, sorry, oh lord",
For in your presence there's power,
In your presence there is healing, 
In your presence our lives are saved, 
We wanna see you face to face,  oh Lord,
Remorsefully,

Finally the farmers family reconciled with the thieves and the four of them decided to work for the farmer from that day onwards, progressively, 

henceforth,  the dirty,  old truck, was used productively, 

 to convey farm produce from  the farm into the big cities,  economically...
