Beast
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
What's
This beast
With seven heads.
Something to fear?
Spirit or matter
Temptation
Enslaves.
People,
Nations,
Get depraved.
Lord Almighty
On the throne-
Call to
Us.
Beast:
No doubt
He's the one
To take you out.
Have you for lunch
Then for dinner.
You play
Then
You
Are his,
And, his quiver.
King of the proud:
Who do you chose?
Sword to slay
Win or,
Lose.
His
Beauty
Unsurpassed
Magnificent
In splender arrayed.
We don't see
His form
Yet,
But
We don't
Mess with him.
He is the Lord's.
The Lord can contain him, that is a fact.
Should we try to mess with him? Bugger that!
There
Is a
Place where we
Rest in His shade...
Where all the troubles of this world, simply fade.
Beast defeated
Lord to reign.
No more
Death
No
More pain.
In his grace
We are to reign.
The beast defeated. Now the end, our freind.
