GONE FISHING?<\/p>\n

What if I said I was done,
\nAnd I won’t preach anymore,
\nWould that make you happy?
\nWould you even laugh galore?<\/p>\n

Well erase that foolish thought,
\nFrom your ungodly wicked mind,
\nAs much as you would like it,
\nI’m just not the quitting kind.<\/p>\n

It’s just not my own decision,
\nGod wound up my preaching key,
\nAnd because He loves you so much,
\nHe will not just let you be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
