Dangers

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)

Rhymed
Dangers like strangers abound,
Some are like no sound.
Only God knows what’s all around.

By the devil’s aspect
Sin can infect,
I should inspect.

Oh, Jesus the Son
If I sin, don’t I have a conscience,
Pulling me down like a ton?

I hope to be the solution,
Not the problem,
Or the pollution.
