REV. JOHN r. PERKINS
GODS HOUSE MUST BE
CLEANED OUT.
The Holy Bible says the least you
do
To one of my little ones
You have done it also unto me
That don't mean the Child is a
Child of God you see.
So as we mistreat Gods little one;
We are on that downward road
God is going to bring destruction
soon
And Gods house must unload.
God is going to have a clean house
And his power is going to rule
The Holy Spirit is Gods house
And neither one of them is fool
The HipperCrits that is in Gods
house
God knows every one by his name
In his set time he will clean then,
out
And in Gods house there is no more
shame.
We can hear the voice of Jesus
saying
Come unto me and rest lie down
thy wearied
One lie down thy head upon my
breast
We come to Jesus as We was wear
led worn and sad
We found in him resting place
and he has made us glad.
Until we obey the word of God
And respect the truth of all men
This world is on a downward road
From end to end will find sin.
We must get on the kings highway
King Jesus is the right man
He tells us all to follow me
And lift him up before man
We must stop separating the world
And lift Jesus Christ our Lord UP
today
The world is full of sight seeing
That is leading our young race
astray.
We are losing sight on the lift
of Christ
And watching the love of him 90 On
Christ said for us to lift him up
And he will draw the old and the
young
Stop allowing the devil to get in
front
And let Gods House be the leader
as we'll
The devils house don't lead to
Heaven
That is the road that lead to hell.
