I said, “I believe in Jesus!   He will give me eternal life.”   They said, ” Put that Jesus stuff away.  Come and worship the world with us.”

“I cannot go with you.  In fact I’ll surely will not.  What I’ve told to you is true.  I will worship as I ought.”

“Then we must do away with you.  See how your word impedes joy.  You cause us shame.  We curse your name!  You force us now to act.”

“Do what you must this flesh’s of dust.  I’m not afraid to die.  I’ll stand my ground.  To him I’m bound.  I shall not make a fuss.”

“Oh , so say you.  Those words aren’t true.  We’ll put you to the test.  Bring the rope.  We’ll string this dope.  A spindley rope around his chest.  From 80 floors we’ll cast him down.  By this, his words we’ll test.”
