HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYING: Dragon Slaying!




Growing Careless In Prayer
Was Becoming Fearless
Living For The Dare
That The Devil Took Pleasure In Presenting!

Growing Careless In Prayer
Was Bold
AND
Took His Share Of Heaven's Gold
AND
Rolled The Dice
Until He Had Practically
Sold Out His Soul!

Weak
AND
Nearly Broken
AND
Pocket To Let
Save For A Train Token
He Let Out A Frenzied Cry
AND
Sent Up His Last Prayer
Which Was Gracefully Accepted
Mercifully Not Rejected
AND SOONHelp For The Listing Soul
Was On The Way!

Lord,
I Have Played The Fool!
I Permitted Satan To Use Me Like A Tool!
I Walked In Pride
And By Sin
I Got Schooled!

I Have Lost My Way
I Forgot The Debt Of Mine
For Which The Beloved Paid
And
My Back
By The Devil
Is Well And Truly Flayed!

I Have Revelled In Sin!
I Thought The Lottery I Did Win
But What I Had Won Was A Waste
For
Sweet Did Turn Bitter
My Joy Turned To Sadness
And
All Around Me Is The Litter
Of Accusation's Sniping Twitter!

I Am Sorry!
I Repent!
I Have The Dew Of Youth Misspent
And All I Have Left To My Name
Is A Train Token!

Child,
Open Your Hand!
Look At The Token!
The Superscription
Is That Of The Son Of Man!
Give Him His Due
And
Take His Hand
For It Is To You Extended
And
In His Truth
By Faith
- In Obedience -
You Will Stand!



Growing Careless
Now Grown Careful In Prayer
Took The Lovingly Extended Hand!
The Lord Gave Him A Robe
AND
He Was Hugged Close
AND
Felt Whole
AND
There Was Great Rejoicing
Over The One
Returned To The Safe-Sheep Fold!

Hear Grown Careful In Prayer Speak:

From That Day
I Walked Straight!
With My Prayer Life
I No Longer Played
For
A Life Without Prayer
Is A Life
Where Lackadaisical Sheep By Angry Dragon
Will Be Slayed!

Fervent Praying
Is
Dragon Slaying!
