Angels Play
It is said that the angels of God separate the wicked from the just
The wicked in the furnace of fire where gnashing teeth meets the dust
All good is placed in vessels to save, but the bad is carry away
I am told prayer is placed in the oil for lamps that count on this day
So pray your sins away, and those of the ones you love to lay
On Life Everlasting to come with the joy in laughter of love
Found in family in all our favorite likes in your Fathers glove
That holds the treasures new and old to now take away
The Kingdom of Heaven to come on earth, many to stay
Our hearts desire in parables that are still yet to play
So I ask you to lay down a good prayer, this a must
That you pass on all you want and think on, that's lust
Each day you live is a blessing to make another day
Hope yet to raise from the dead, heaven on the way
We are guilty of forgetting this, by our desire to play
(Matthew 13:49-54)
