STICKS AND STONES

WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE UP
THESE RIDICULOUS LIES?
WHY DO YOU TAKE PLEASURE
IN MAKING ME CRY?
I WAS UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION
THAT YOU CALLED YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN.
I DID NOTHING BUT TRY TO CRACK 
THAT HARD SHELL THAT SURROUNDS YOU 
AND KEEPS TRUE LOVE OUT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
GOD, IS THIS PART OF YOUR PLAN?
I KNOW THAT WHAT THE DEVIL USES FOR BAD
YOU TURN IT AROUND AND MAKE IT GOOD
FOR YOUR CHILD.
I PRAY THAT YOU KEEP US SAFE
FROM THESE NAYSAYERS
AND THAT THEIR HORRIBLE LIES
WOULDN'T BE BELIEVED.
I KNOW YOU KNOW THE TRUTH
AND THAT I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE
BUT TO TRUST IN YOU.
I KNOW THAT PARADISE WAITS FOR ME
AND TURNING 61 IN A FEW WEEKS
BRINGS ME CLOSER TO YOU.
SO, GO AHEAD AND GOSSIP AND LIE
FOR MY STRENGTH COMES FROM MY KING.
HE KNOWS THE TRUTH,
HE SEES THROUGH YOU.
AND YOUR WORDS MAY HURT
BUT YOUR UGLINESS 
SHALL NEVER TOUCH MY SOUL
SO GO AHEAD AND THROW
YOUR STICKS AND STONES
FROM YOUR FRAGILE GLASS HOME.

LUKE 6:28

BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU,

PRAY FOR THOSE WHO MISTREAT YOU.
