IF HE DOESN’T COME<\/p>\n

So what are you going to do,
\nIf Jesus does not even come,
\nWill you to all those doubts,
\nThen just quickly succumb?<\/p>\n

And what if what you believe,
\nTurns out to be a deception,
\nWill you simply re-evaluate,
\nFormulate a new perception?<\/p>\n

Now you may think I’m crazy,
\nA heretic or possibly worse,
\nHowever what if in actuality,
\nYou misunderstood a verse?<\/p>\n

Realizing we’ve been in error,
\nIs not easy for some to admit,
\nBut it is better to be humble,
\nThan simply give up and quit.<\/p>\n

Tho you think it not important,
\nIt’s an idea you must consider,
\nFor if my thoughts are correct,
\nI do not want you to be bitter.<\/p>\n

Thus I urge you to be careful,
\nAbout everything you believe,
\nSo many wolves are out there,
\nAnd they’re waiting to deceive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
