You Lied

James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)

You Lied

Hey you lied to me
Why such conduct
Do you know of Angels
Do you fear Holy Spirits
Of course you must
Now you will pay
For a devilish way
Ask Ananias
Or his wife Sapphira
I may not be Peter
I am James like Peter
Always think of Acts
Before speaking facts
Never lie to God
He carries a stern rod
