Those Frustrating, Sanctifying Events

Can’t find the thing you need until You go to the store and buy it; Then you come home and find it! So go the chores around the house Or jobs around town. It’s that “sanctification” thing! The world seems to cooperate With the Lord in His task Of buggin’ us and makin’ us ask “Why don’t things go smoothly?” Yeah, He keeps things rough To make us tough and change Us from our wicked, selfish derange- Ment with all its warped whining About things that are meant to sanctify Our nasty souls and make them whole, Fit for the company of angels and saints! So, relax, press on, and give Him thanks That He is keeping you in the ranks, Faithful to bug your nasty soul And get you up on that eternal payroll.
