Lord if I knew you were coming to my house today
I would not want to serve you hypocrite pie
Made from yesterday's biscuits
Layered in a plate
Quickly filled with applesauce
And sprinkled with cinnamon
Thrown together in haste

I know Lord you would rather have the real thing
Freshly picked fruit from the tree
Peeled today
Geniune pie dough
Rolled out new, with tender care
Expecting you master, soon to be here

I too would not be content with hypocrite pie
Cold biscuits of yesterday aren't good enough
For either of us
Lord you deserve the very best
My intentions are to give you just that
Hypocrite pie will never suffice
If I want you to be the Lord of my life

And what a sweet savor
That freshness is
Permeating the air
Sharing good fruit
And purposeful labor
We are both blessed

I have never heard of hypocrite pie, but I love the way you have used that in this poem. It should be the desire of each of us to want to give to the Lord our best. Thank you for writing this. Wanda

Amen. Like a golden slice of homemade hot-apple-pie topped with a scoop of vanilla
icecream, Nothin' better than the real thing....

Nope... somehow these words just don't seem to satisfy my hunger.

Yep, I gotta taste the real deal and see for myself.....

The Lord is GOOD!

I'm sure you serve nothing less than the best to your Lord. Joyce

This one has a new twist. Fresh and tangy like lemon pie covered with the sweetness of lightly browned egg white peaks.
I really enjoyed this.
