Analysis of Praises
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Praises to say them made.
Must go up.
Praises to say them made,
They must go up.
We've got to,
Know our praises made...
Must go up.
With faith to keep it kept.
And in God to trust.
There's no debating,
Who God is and has created.
Everything including us.
There's no debating,
Many have lived to lust...
Evil and deceiving people,
All around with minds corrupted.
Turning faith kept to dust.
It's there not to miss everywhere.
People made convinced to no longer care.
Yet,
Sharing their suffering and despair.
With each other to compare,
Sorrows and anguish.
Anger and despicable language.
Picking who to hate and despise.
Aware that God is alive.
Knowing who deceives and lies.
It's there not to miss everywhere.
People claiming faith.
But more evil they share.
Praises to say them made.
Must go up.
Not to kick around on the ground.
To discover many frowning.
Looking down.
Praises,
To say them made,
Even after leaving church.
Feeling nothing but disgust.
But claiming God is,
The One To Trust!
Always God is good.
God is good they say.
In all ways,
God is good.
But where is their kept faith!
Yet who do they pray,
To say...
They keep kept faith.
Yet...
Who do they pray,
To say...
Everyday they keep kept faith.
They keep kept faith.
They keep kept faith!
To give it up all to The Lord!
