GOD’S GOOFY GUYS <\/p>\n

I am one of God’s goofy guys,
\nMany nonbelievers despise.
\nI can be silly and quirky,
\nAnd maybe a little jerky.<\/p>\n

Some may say that I’m a fool,
\nBut I’m really just God’s tool.
\nIt wasn’t I who took this role,
\nIt was God who touched my soul.<\/p>\n

He said “Go!” What could I do?
\n“Feed my sheep!” Oh that’s you!
\nSo this I do, day after day,
\nDespite what those goats say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
