HERD DIVIDER <\/p>\n

If there’s one thing about the Word,
\nIt divides the goats from the sheep,
\nBut Christians don’t have to worry,
\nWe know which ones God will keep.<\/p>\n

Although the world may not like you,
\nAnd will even run in the other way,
\nJust keep on preaching the Gospel,
\nAnd you\u2018ll land in Heaven someday.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter if they reject you,
\nFor you are the apple of God’s eye,
\nWhile you are rejoicing up yonder,
\nThey’ll just sit in darkness and cry.<\/p>\n

So let them laugh and deride you,
\nIf that is how they wish to behave,
\nWhat they probably don’t realize,
\nIs they\u2019re digging their own grave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
