Verily I Say Unto You

Oh, I could tell you that all is fine that everything is just great
Just keep on sipping your wine and don't worry about your fate
I could flat pass over the subject as this would be easier for me
You too wish that this I'd select and in so doing just let you be

I could never say another word that'd contain His Holy Name
Keeping to myself what I heard and letting you live in shame
I could keep all of it inside with a smile and a wave goodbye
I could have never tried just standing back looking with a sigh

But The Lord said otherwise in putting His Name on my heart
It is satan we both despise all his ways like a poisonous dart
As He Has Instilled such a burning, turning my own hearts key
I can only hope and pray such a yearning will also set you free

But you, you can walk away not feeling the need for His Word
Oh yes, you certainly may in so feeling that Jesus is absurd 
Just do one thing first and bet your bottom dollar(ass) it's true 
Read the next two verses and realize that He is talking to you
  

Matthew 10:14-15
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when 
ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of 
Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
