IMPERISHABLE CROWN <\/p>\n

Kings of old fought in many wars,
\nProtected by their weapon stores.
\nShields, helmets, swords and more,
\nKeeping their crown was a chore.<\/p>\n

Enemies many wanted king’s throne,
\nJust to make that crown their own.
\nBut short-sighted were those men,
\nNever thinking about living again.<\/p>\n

Blinded by what was before eyes,
\nAlways believing Satan’s old lies.
\nNo hope for an imperishable crown,
\nNever seeing God’s Heavenly Town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
