If It Helps You ()



If It Helps You ()
Author: Mark V. Markov

Everything good comes from God
If it helps you
And doesn’t hurt you
Everything good comes from God
You know it’s true

There is no sin
In something that helps you
And doesn’t hurt you

Electric
The sewer system
And everything else
It is designed to
For you
To be the better you
In everyday life
In everything that helps others
There is no sin
You know it’s true

It is designed
For you
To be a better you
To have more time
To study the word of God.

Everything that is designed to help you
And not hurt you
Is approved by God the Holy Trinity

God blessed the mind to evolve
Because of Jesus Christ
Advancement occurred
Along with the renaissance in life
Many things came to be
As a result
Mankind became more civilized

Everything good comes from God
If it helps you
And doesn’t hurt you
Everything good comes from God
You know it’s true

Many things came out to be
For example,
Like planes and electricity
To benefit the humanity

Back then
So much different were those old ages
Even during the Roman Empire
When the Romans
Wiped their behinds with the little hard ceramic pieces
But now we all have toilet paper
And it’s so nice and soft

If you are Amish
It is the same God
The same Jesus Christ.
Since everything good comes
From the Creator of all life.

For God created you
God created me
God created us to be
In love and harmony.

Everything good comes from God
If it helps you
And doesn’t hurt you
Everything good comes from God
You know it’s true,
You know it’s true...


Romans also tidied up with ceramic pieces rounded in the shape of an oval or circle, called pessoi. Archaeologists have found pessoi relics with traces of feces on them, and an ancient wine cup features a man wiping his bum with pessoi.

    This is more a naïve opinion than poetic expression putting forth verses than one could agree with. The simplistic idea that all good comes from a God, but what about the bad? If God is the creator of all things, the knower it all as many without much thought try to push then good and bad comes from him and not just the good.
    This poem lacks assurance and as an opinion without foundation it has validity but as something to take serious, the argument is faulty.
