Sprinkled That Blood

2 Chron. 29:21f. Bulls, rams, lambs, and sheep Seven of each they slaughtered Blood flowing everywhere The earth was quite will watered; Sprinkled that blood on the altar Before the king and assembly (Think about it all you Baptists; Don’t have to dunk ’em in that water) The way of the Lord is to sprinkle […]

Make a Covenant With the Lord

2 Chron 29:8f. Make a covenant with the Lord So you can turn the anger away All day.  Make a covenant with the Lord And you do what He says every day. Miss that terror, horror, and hissing; Turn your suffering into some kissing. A good bride is what you need Takes care o’ that […]

Uzziah Was Enraged

2 Chron 26:16-28:3 The priests of the Lord were valiant men Under the rule of the prideful Uzziah Who gallfully entered the temple The place where only priests could go. Swiftly, they went after that intruder: “Not for you to burn incense!” they charged. Right in after him those men of God barged: (18) “You’ve […]
