Analysis of Egypt's PHP
James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)
God gives particular gifts,
Mystical experiences,
Divine interventions,
And a personal touch
When all is not enough - Punishment
God gives Holy Lights,
Holy Ghosts,
Holy Sights,
In spite of dark dreams
And devilish things - Hopefulness
God gives all Goodness
Greatness and Hopefulness
God is truly special
Just seek His guidance
For assurance and endurance - Prayers
Note: "Prayers for all the decendents, who must pay an ultimate
sacrifice for their biblical quest and forefathers actions......through
Jesus Christ. Amen!"
