Elijah, mighty man of God,
Sat under a broom tree,
Feeling sorry for himself.
He was all alone,
Fleeing from Jezebel,
Despite the fire from heaven on Mount Carmel.
But God spoke to him, saying
“Eat and drink, and keep moving,
Seven thousand have not bent the knee to Baal.”
Jonah, preacher to Nineveh,
Sat under a gourd,
Feeling sorry for himself
For Nineveh would not be destroyed
Which was his heart’s desire
But God spoke to him,
Saying, “And should I not feel sorry for them?
They do not know Me.”
Jesus, son of Joseph,
Knelt in a garden,
Feeling the burden of what was to come.
“If it is possible, Father,
“Take this cup from me,
“For it is heavy,
“But Thy will be done.”
And He went on the Tree
And in His shadow
We looked and saw,
A righteous man,
The Son of God,
Restoring broken hearts and homes
Restoring sinful men to God
When we are weary,
When we are sorry for ourselves,
When we want to sit under the tree,
Let us remember Him,
Who was raised on a Tree
So that we could live. Amen.
Note: This is my first original post. Can someoen put it in the right place for me?
Amen.

John Kerry also sat under a tree
moaning and groaning, why me, oh why me
a voice from Heaven that wont be denied
"Because you're so vain, because you have lied
because you are stupid because you are dense
because you threw medals over the fence
because in your greed, for money you wed
because you are crooked like Pelosi and Ted
because you seek power and used Viet Nam
because you're a traitor and don't give a damp
because I don't like you, I'll end with this verse
don't look to the future, it'll only get worse
you're out of my blessings you're out of my grace
You're friends will all ask you
John, why the long face?
Thanks.
