Hungry Sheep
A Poetic Salute to Preaching with Fruit
They raise a cheery mood.
And still you show the narrow path
When you serve solid food.
Though babes the mildest milk desire,
With feedings every hour,
The more mature reach ever higher,
Seeking greater power.
So bring it on, and throw it down,
With vegetables and meat.
Those in the pew may fret and frown;
They just need more to eat.
Our ears are tickled, to be sure,
With humor and with fun.
But real nutrition will endure
When we our course have run.
The Lord, He knows this fine cuisine
Is harder to prepare,
But minerals and real protein
Will fuel a powered prayer.
