HOLY GHOST HOUND <\/p>\n

I could say what you want to hear,
\nBut to God’s truth I am bound,
\nSo I will always share His Word,
\nAlthough it makes you so unwound.<\/p>\n

Yes, only the Gospel I will preach,
\nI just won’t make any other sound,
\nI am so sorry if that offends you,
\nAnd you no longer want me around.<\/p>\n

If there is one thing I am sure of,
\nIndeed one truth I’ve surely found,
\nIt is that if I stray from the Lord,
\nHe will send His Holy Ghost hound.<\/p>\n

So go right ahead and reject me,
\nIf that’s what you’ve chosen to do,
\nYet let me one more thing tell you,
\nYou’ll wind up in a terrible stew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
