Jesus healed all who came to Him,
The sick, the lame, and the blind.
The lepers, those incurable,
Still today it comes to mind.
.
.
“A hypnotist! A fake!” they cried.
“Just watch the disease will return!”
“A master craftsman, magician,
He, with Beelzebub, will burn!”
.
.
But their unbelief came from him,
The one who ‘believes and trembles’ (*)
And the self-deluded just grow and grow
As today Satan assembles!
.
.
“What more can you ask? The pleasures
Of sin, do they not satisfy?”
“Come live as you please and when life
Ends in oblivion, forever lie!”
.
.
This is not a true statement,
As Paul sincerely declares,
Who saw and heard from Paradise (**)
Secrets beyond compare.
.
.
And well we know, have felt the heat,
Of hell from time to time.
Nirvana, oblivion, how can you believe
The devils insidious line?
.
.
And still many chose the devils lies,
Just cannot seem to help themselves.
Deluded they think ole Satan’s imps
Are cute little furry elves!
.
.
Did not do Lazarus a favor when
God hauled him from Paradise,
Unhappy return to a world of sin,
To answer the sisters cries!
.
.
Yes, Satan lies, as God is truth!
He raised the dead! And again
They will be raised everlastingly
Just whenever God says, “When!”
.
