At the Crossroad
“I encountered a man on the Road of life,
so sure of himself – so convinced he was right.

He’s the wisest man in the church;
There’s nothing he can’t do.
If you turn down your ministry,
He’ll be there to do it for you.

Then if you don’t keep your commitment,
He’ll cover you and fill in your spot.
He’s obviously

Then gift shoppers show up in streams,
And Mike the mailman is bending low.
When the generosities astound,
Then through the air, we hear the sound
Of joy-bells ring…
“Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling!”
Then
