The First Shall Be Last
..so it is written..
><><><
Satan stood at the gates of hell
And invited all who came;
He accepted all the bodies, strong,
But turned away the lame.
<><><>
“To be a part of my great army”,
He, then said with a grin,
“You must be made of muscle –
Not maimed or much too thin.”
<><><>
His wild frenzy of ambition
Was the cause of his descent.
He was looking for the vilest souls
Who never would lament.
<><><>
He hated all the faint of heart
In fear they might rebel
And beg God to forgive them
And bring them back from hell.
<><><>
He saw it happen many times:
The Mercy of our Lord.
God won so many battles
Without the raising of a sword.
<><><>
God is always there and waiting
To make Heaven our reward.
He just wants to hear our loving words:
“Forgive me, my dear Lord.”
