A Toy On the Shelf
The Devil opened his new toy
Placing his old one on a shelf
Never dreaming on that tier
That I would find myself
I have shed ten million tears
If I have shed a one
They all formed into a river
That carried me to the Son
He pulled me from the river
A smile upon his face
Said, "I'm glad you are no longer
Caught up in the race"
Devils eyes danced with anger
For he truly knew
I have always been the type of man
Devoted to what I do
What I do is what I must
I wear it on my sleeve
For deep up in my heart and soul
I truly do believe
That each and everyone of us
Humanity as a whole
Has a desire inside of us
To find away to grow
As we grow lets let it show
Each and everyday
That it is for our neighbors
We bow our heads to pray
Written for all my friends who
have been holding my family
and I in prayer.
