FATHER’S WILL<\/p>\n

Father’s Will shall prevail,
\nNo matter what we do or say,
\nIf we whine, cry, complain,
\nHe will still have His way.<\/p>\n

We say we know much better,
\nBut if we dare to go astray,
\nHe will simply chastise us,
\nYes, we will have to pay.<\/p>\n

Learn the lesson well here,
\nIt’s better for us to obey,
\nHe’ll lead us thru darkness,
\nTo a much brighter day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
