Swap Meet'

Hurry' Get to the gate early, "Gotta go in."
Your there before dawn, let the deals begin.
Walking down the aisles, you search for new treasures,
To satisfy your needs, make searching a real pleasure.

A table with Jewelry, tools scattered on the ground.
Looking for deals, dickering over price, fun to be had all around.
Meeting with the vendors, laughing all the while,
Because finding the deal that is right, will truly make you smile.

Another thing you must never forget, not loose your sight,
When your searching, the things bought must be right.
In your spiritual walk ask to be let in,
Searching in the aisle of life, looking in the Holy Book, to find His Kingdom.

On the table is the book of life, this can't be dickered for,
Looking to make a deal? It can't be bought at any store.
You are freely given, love, wisdom, the book is very clear,
No amount of money can be used, it can't be bought here.

Life is a spiritual swap meet, given to us by Grace,
A walk down this aisle given freely at this place.
Search the aisles, find your free gift, take a good look,
Jesus gave to us a blessing, Just read the Bible, it's a special Book.
