please stand up

 So Ms Thompson, you have been officially sliced and diced.  You can go now but just as that Charlie Daniels song says,  "come on back if you ever want to try again". . . . . hmm the creative juices are flowing now.

The devil came down to Coldspring

She was looking for a school to steal

She was in a bind and way behind

Not walking in God’s will

When she came across a preacher

Trying to build a school and failing not

The devil jumped up on her ministry stump

And said, “preacher, let me tell you what”

I guess you didn’t know it, but I’m a school builder too

And if you care to trust me there, I’ll build this school  for you.

Now you build a pretty good school man but give this girl her due

I’ll bet my skills against your schills cause I think I am better than you.

The preacher said, “My name is brother Mike” and I’ll be fair

And let you there because that is just what I do

The devil opened up her bag and said,

“Ill start this show”

Ink flew from her pen’s tip as she let everyone know

“I own this school and gonna take it down the road”

She stole the records and preacher’s trust

Then made another load.

Fire on the mountain, run boy run

Devils in the house

Of the Risen Son.

Chicken in the file cabinet

Pickin out those

Records showing what each kid knows

Then the crew joined in looking at desks

And said, “let’s just take the rest”

Preacher came along and said,

Well you are pretty bad ole mistaken one

But sit down in that chair right there

And let me tell you about The Son.

He’s the one that took your sin

Bad as it might be

Took it all upon Himself

When He was nailed to that tree

Calvary will get past your worst

And your world will see

our faithful servants will forgive your sin

then gather around me.

People that I know and trust

will step in and fill your gap

just because they plainly see

you sitting in the devils lap.

What God is in 

will continue to grow

I just hope someday you see

What you did was to HIM, it wasn't even me.
