THE FOUNTAIN

THE FOUNTAIN

I saw this beautiful fountain in the middle of a pond,

It was lovely to behold, it catapulted water way beyond

What I thought it would do. But that lovely fountain

Had problems, at least two.

Here is what I saw in the dream ,or vision, I had,

This lovely fountain sometimes had water that was bad.

How can a fountain shoot forth water, mostly good,

But now and then out would come such filthy water,

It was difficult to be understood.

I watched and watched this beautiful fountain,

I thought about it spewing forth water, good and bad,

It boggled my mind for quite some time,

And it made me oh, so sad.

Then the answer came so clearly to my mind,

The fountain represented Christian folk,

And what they thought, and did, yet, I would find

Them praising God one moment,

Then cursing man, the next.

I was totally confused and somewhat perplexed.

But it came to me what is going on,

We praise God with our words, even with our song.

We step outside the church, and up comes our pride,

Then we gossip about our church family,

But listen, We are His bride.

So check on all of your motives, my Friend,

And before you speak, think twice,

Will what you say glorify God,

And help man with your advice?

Think about what I have just said,

And get rid of that terrible pride,

Live a life before Jesus, our Lord,

And be an example to others, Dear Bride.

Most of all, let your love be amplified.
