And how does one cope many-a year in prison
Stuck in the presence of manifold idiocy?
Patience with a view toward Providence:
Indeed, our Lord, the God of all jails
Who rules even amidst of the lawless gatekeepers
And is able to console all with His Holy Spirit.
Yes, the Lord of all is not banished from jail
(You know He even went down to hell)!
He can surely enter into a U.S. prison;
He who from the clutches of death has risen!
The Spirit, not bound by doors or walls,
Can come through dark and dingy halls
And meet with those who call on Him;
Nothing stops the will of the Almighty.
So enjoy your prayers with coffee or tea
And know that He controls everything
Even those who cannot cease to sing
Their canon of regular, timeless hymns.
Whether new or old, He hears them all
In winter, spring, summer and fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
