Analysis of A Wiser Rescue



Upsets, turnarounds, stumbling
Happen every day
And much too soon
We take our tools
To fix it in some way.
No time to stop, reflect
A bit and hear the word of God
Why that is just delay, unwise
And to the world quite odd.

But why we listen
To such froth
That comes from faithless minds
Much better to invite the King
And leave small serfs behind.
Yes let this ever be our style
We smile and look up high.
The problems shrink and run away
Wise rescue in the Sky.
