FAKER<\/p>\n

That poor man was in a hole,
\nNo doubt of his own making,
\nBecause throughout his life,
\nLove for Jesus he was faking.<\/p>\n

So proudly he walked about,
\nWith a very self-righteous air,
\nWhile deep in his wicked heart,
\nHe honestly did not even care.<\/p>\n

Folks would see him coming,
\nThen praises could be heard,
\nHe thot he was doing so swell,
\nOh what an idea quite absurd.<\/p>\n

Outwardly he seemed so fine,
\nSure, he even talked the talk,
\nBut when nobody was looking,
\nHe just did not walk the walk.<\/p>\n

Now here he stood before God,
\nA rather smug look on his face,
\nAs Father then spoke saying,
\nSon, you’re in the wrong place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
