The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide
Listen to poem:

Test My Spirit By Me

I hate a promise never kept
A word that's made, then broken
A handshake that is offered up
As merely just a token

I despise a person who
Is void of common grace
Who gives a gift, with intent
To throw it in my face

One who thinks they’re better
Superior to the rest
Then falls apart when circumstances
Puts them to the test

Chorus
The one who's never wrong
But never gets it right
One who runs and hides
When, there's a righteous fight
The one that puts you down
When it's you who’s really trying
The same that sits and laughs
When you’re on your knees and crying

Puts them to the test

Chorus
The one who's never wrong
But never gets it right
One who runs and hides
When, there's a righteous fight
The one that puts you down
When it's you who’s really trying
The same that sits and laughs
When you’re on your knees and crying
