HEAT AND SHADE

[verseode]

             

             It's very hot, it's stifling
             And I feel so oppressed
             The world is burning round me
             I'm feeling overdressed
             So I retreat into the shade
             Where coolness welcomes me
             In peace and calm where I can sit
             Is where I want to be.

             To gaze upon the fringe of hell
             Whilst sitting in the cool
             Reminds me that I'm safe and sound
             I could have been the fool
             Who chose to stay in searing heat
             And suffer like the rest
             Being here with Jesus Christ
             Shows that I know best.
