I AM GOD’S JACK-IN-THE-BOX <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

04-15-2014<\/p>\n

I am God’s Jack-in-the-box,
\nTo the Devil’s sad chagrin,
\nEvery time he puts me down,
\nI just pop back up again.<\/p>\n

I just can’t seem to help it,
\nGod loaded my spring so good,
\nSatan wants to silence me,
\nThat is, if he only could.<\/p>\n

The power comes not from me,
\nThis you need to understand,
\nIt’s the flow of the Spirit,
\nThat comes from God’s own Hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
