Baking a pie instead of making a lie
Sharon Brown 1974 (Brooklyn)
To bake a pie
you need to get all of the ingredients.
When you serve it all up you'll see the smiles on the faces' radiance.
A cup of this, a dash of that, in it's right measure.
You create a pie from scratch what a pleasure.
For a Holiday we celebrate and to God we praise
How did we come up with such a treasure.
To make a lie
You need all of the wrong ingredients.
When you serve up a lie you'll see the fading of radiance.
The one who hears it and knows it's not true has a fit of a seizure.
They can't believe their ears what a displeasure.
For your lieAday we can't celebrate for lies God hates.
How to you devalue and rust life's treasure.
The time of Jesus coming draweth nigh.
Confess him as Lord, don't be a liar.
Try Baking a pie instead of making a lie.
Don't end up in the lake of fire.
