I have a house
I am my own dwelling
And the address
Of this home is
J A M E S 777 One of God's Children Lane
I was occupied by sin
But his rent was too high
Choose not to buy
Was sure price too high
With the rent no longer wanted
So I evited him
So whom was this tenant you ask
Lucifer, Beelzebub, demons
Now I got a new tenant
And the mortgage is free
Got the Holy Spirit residing within me
I am a house
2/3/18
