( By Jan Phillips )
God gave us the brains
What did you do with yours?
Did you make any gains?
Or did they open any doors?
Have you used them with wisdom
Or have you used them not at all
Do you only use them some
Or just when they’re on call
Sometimes I wish I had two
But I don’t use the one I have
So would I be twice as dumb
Or just twice as sad.
I need to use what little I have left
To study the Bible through
And get closer to my Lord
As He would have me do.
If wishes were brains
I bet I’d have a few
But would I use them
Any better than I do?
I didn’t read my Bible today
For that I must atone
It’s a good thing God forgives me
Or I would be all alone
I use my brains on worldly things
That’s not what I’m meant to do
I need to get my head on straight
And not wait until it’s too late
God help me use my brain
To do the right thing
According to your plan for me
Then I can come home and be free.
Quite the most humourous,witty and most engagingly feel-good poem that I’ve had the pleasure to read for some time. ( Note to Jan ) I would very much like your permission to read this one at a Destiny Church Sunday Service.
Thank you Louis. I am glad you enjoyed it and you have my permission to read it at a Destiny Church Sunday Service as you wish. I always am glad to get your input. You are very astute.
I go with Louis. A very feel good poem! Lovely!
