Wickedness over good



When you meet a wicked person
Along the narrow way
It's time to stop everything
Kneel down and begin to pray
It's like wearing two left shoes
Praying not to lose
Walking down the street
Choosing  which way is best to go
The best is that God was there
To guide you and to show
That he will walk beside you
Wherever  you may go
Don't  forget he loves you
For he's  the road you know

    And what if he dwells within you…Is it not said that our bodies are temples?Unlike those built of stone and wood…Just a silly thought…
