JACK & JILL: THE REAL STORY
by Bill Kochman
10-08-2019
Up the hill went Jack and his wife,
Both hoping to drink Water of Life.
No Crown of Life did Jack receive,
For he had failed to really believe.
As for Jill, she so loved her Jack,
And that is why she too slid back.
It takes faith to climb the mount,
So the cost you must wisely count.
In your own strength do not abide,
For if you do, you'll surely slide.
If you are expecting to truly win,
Trust in God even before you begin.
