[Jesus]
When you feel sad, or under a curse
Your life is bad, your prospects are worse
Your wife is crying, sighing...
And your olive tree is dying,
Temples are graying, and teeth are decaying
And creditors weighing your purse...
Your mood and your robe
Are both a deep blue
You'd bet that Job
Had nothin' on you...
Ahhhhhhhh...Don't forget that when you go to
Heaven you'll be blessed..
Yes, it's all for the best...
[Judas]
Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please,
Richer than the bees are in honey
Never growing old, never feeling cold
Pulling pots of gold from thin air
The best in every town, best at shaking down
Best at making mountains of money
They can't take it with them, but what do they care?
They get the center of the meat, cushions on the seat
Houses on the street where it's sunny..
Summers at the sea, winters warm and free
All of this and we get the rest...
But who is the land for? The sun and the sand for?
You guessed! It's all for the best...
[Both]
You must never be distressed
Yes, it's all for the....
All your wrongs will be redressed
Yes, it's all for the....
Someone's got to be oppressed!
Yes, it's all for the best!!!

Annie, I hope you don't mind, but I have posted this on MY blog (in process) ... I think it's a powerful piece that makes us all think about our desires and reasons FOR those desires. I want ALL of us to achieve those things that are deep in our hearts, for the right reason. I think that those of us that HAVE the right reasons WILL be successful in our achievements. Perhaps not the way we thought, but in the way that HE thinks. And we will know and ackowledge that in due time.
ReplyDeleteI love you girlfriend. You are an amazing, loving spirit. I am proud to have you as my friend.
