Shall We Listen (Christian Forums)



shalll we lis ten to a good ar gu ment

and reall ly try to un der stand and to get?

or brush it a side like we'd hate and re gret

if Yeshu a was say ing the words that we met?


oh shalll we lis ten to a good point of you

stop on the Way and look out at the view?

so man y i deas in a cla mor ing stew

can be hard to choose ex act ly what to do


but shalll we lis ten to a good ar gu ment

and reall ly try to un der stand and to get?

or brush it a side like we'd hate and re gret

if Yeshu a was say ing the words that we met?


or shall we make an un kind kind of -ment

toss the words of hard work out, un inspect

ed?  make like the per son is flawed and ill-bred,

or did something wrong to undo their invent?


or shalll we lis ten to a good ar gu ment

and reall ly try to un der stand and to get?

or brush it a side like we'd hate and re gret

if Yeshu a was say ing the words that we met?
