Zealous Servant

John W Frye

Just a cup of cold water

Smashed into my face.

The zealous servant left me,

With water, oh for sure,

And with bits of glass

And blood and water mixed

Gushing from my mouth.

Friends, zeal without love

Mimics the devil’s way.

John wooed me with his poetry when we met, dated and were engaged at Moody Bible Institute. “He got me at”/ with poetry.

Preacherman,
I think that’s why I like poetry, too. After you read it, it works on you.
