In Gun He Trusts

In Gun He Trusts

By Elton Camp

Sam’s so sweet sugar won’t melt in his mouth
Almost all of his life he has lived in the South

Crestview Community Church is his delight
He boasts of his salvation both day and night

He says to obey the Bible when under test
But has actually read only a few parts at best

The Ten Commandments he does recommend
However, with “Thou shalt not kill” can expend

But the Second Amendment he does glorify
Just try to take his gun away and you’ll die

To Jesus, the Prince of Peace, praise he’ll sing
But to most violent ideas he continues to cling

Get him riled up and he’ll angrily say
“Mess with me and I’ll blow you away”

He wants to claim Jesus as his friend
But, on his example, doesn’t depend

For rather than turn the other cheek,
It’s his loaded gun he’ll seek

He knows his pistol’s location  well
Atop a Bible he took from a motel

But try to tell him he’s making a mistake
The greatest of angry offense he’ll take
