WIMPY WITNESS <\/p>\n

He was such a wimpy witness,
\nAnd so ashamed of the Lord,
\nHe would quickly run and hide,
\nNot pull out his Bible sword.<\/p>\n

When fools came to mock him,
\nAnd naysayers drew so near,
\nHe would flee the other way,
\nAnd simply cower in fear.<\/p>\n

The power of God’s Spirit,
\nHe just did not seem to know,
\nHe was not strong in the Word,
\nAnd so his faith did not grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
