Sheep For the Slaughter

I shall not God search this out For you know the secrets of our hearts We are counted as sheep for the slaughter and all that matters As it is written we're all killed liken All those daydreamers accounted for as sleep for the slaughter Who shall separate us from our God Who shall separate us from the love of Christ Shall tribulation or distress Give me my body thirst For forty days and forty nights Without food or water we're liken sheep for the slaughter Shall tribulation or distress Persecution famine or nakedness No perils no swords We are kept by His words We are His and His alone we're not of this world Who shall separate us from our God Who shall separate us from the love of Christ Shall tribulation or distress Give me my body thirst For forty days and forty nights Without food or water we're liken sheep for the slaughter 05/17/12 written by James Edward Lee Sr. taken from Romans 8:26 from anthology "Sent Up"
