MISERY LOVES COMPANY

MISERY LOVES COMPANY.
THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY.
AND IT'S VERY TRUE.
WHEN' YOU'VE BEEN TREATED
LIKE YOU'RE SOMETHING ICKY
STUCK TO SOMEONE'S EXPENSIVE SHOE,
SOMEONE WHO THINKS THEY'RE BETTER THAN YOU
'CUZ THEY LIVE IN A NICE HOUSE
AND DRIVE A NICE CAR
AND WHERE NICE CLOTHES
AND YOU LIVE IN AN APARTMENT
AND CAN BARELY AFFORD THE GAS IT TAKES
TO GET TO YOUR NEW JOB,
PRAISE GOD,
MISERY LOVES COMPANY.
SO WHO DO YOU TURN TO
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU?
WHEN YOU FEEL SO DOWN
THAT YOU CAN HARDLY SEE THE SUN PEAKING THROUGH,
WHAT ARE YOU TO DO?
WELL, FOR ME, IT'S TESTIFYING ABOUT MY
COMPLETELY MESSED UP LIFE,
TALKING UNASHAMEDLY ABOUT JESUS
TO THOSE BEAUTIFUL HEARTS OF THE
LESS UNFORTUNATE
AND SEEING A LIGHT SHINE IN THEIR EYES
WHEN YOU TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS' SACRIFICE
FOR UNFORTUNATE THEM.
LOOKING INTO THEIR DESIRING-TO-BE-LOVED
TEAR-FILLED EYES,
NOT THINKING THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH
FOR BEING WASHED CLEAN BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS,
THAT BEAUTIFUL SACRIFICE.
SITTING BACK HERE IN MY WARM BED TODAY,
MY LITTLE ELVIS GIVING ME A THOUSAND KISSES,
I PRAY TO GOD THAT SOMEONE IN CHARGE
TAKES A LOOK AT THE SYSTEM
AND HAS THEIR EYES OPENED
AND SEE THAT IT'S INHUMANE
TO TREAT MISERY WITH MISERY.
