LEAD WEIGHT <\/p>\n

It really is rather tragic,
\nThe pride within your soul,
\nLike a lead weight so heavy,
\nYou sink deeper in the hole.<\/p>\n

The Lord died for your sins,
\nYou refuse to take a glance,
\nGod offers you His Salvation,
\nYou won’t give Him a chance.<\/p>\n

So down and down you tumble,
\nThat weight picks up speed,
\nGetting very hot down there,
\nTime to confess your need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
