PAWING TO HELL <\/p>\n

I’m so sorry you’re behind bars,
\nBut it was of your own making,
\nJesus Christ offered us freedom,
\nIt was really yours for the taking.<\/p>\n

But in your foolish, stubborn pride,
\nYou chose instead to trust the law,
\nNow you work so hard for Salvation,
\nAs you just scratch and dig and paw.<\/p>\n

I can tell you now it is all useless,
\nYou will never get out of your cell,
\nUnless you repent and turn to Jesus,
\nYou’ll paw yourself straight to Hell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
