The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Salt of the Earth

Salt gives flavour to what is 
Otherwise bland. The attributes 
Of Jesus laid out by God’s almighty
Hand. Be salt today at home, and on
The job. Beware the devil comes only
To steal, destroy, kill and rob.

Salt of the earth, light in a dark place
Demonstrate the character and virtue 
Of the saviour. Containers for power
In this earthen vessel made of clay,
Filled with God’s word to distribute
Each and every day.
