Salt Is Good--

Everyone’s going through a refining fire Sooner or later, But hold on Be solid, whole Be well-preserved Protected from the eternal flames Salt is Good worth Salt is Good worthy if it loses its saltiness; It can’t season anything. So don’t lose your flavour! My child My brothers, sisters But hold on Be solid, whole Be well-preserved Protected from the eternal flames Be preservatives yourselves Preserve the peace Live in peace with each other Alleluia, Amen Salt is good. But if the salt loses its saltiness How will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, yourself And have peace with one another.” Faithfulness does sometimes disturb the peace And peace is sometimes obtained Salt is good and salt useful But if salt has lost its purpose, How will you make it salty? Again within yourselves Continually, and be at peace with one another So don’t lose your flavour! My child My brothers, sisters But hold on Be solid, whole Be well-preserved Protected from the eternal flames Be preservatives yourselves Preserve the peace Live in peace with each other Alleluia, Amen
