Tell me again your excuses in verses
trip up my heart with the fluff of your lies
trick me with reasons you often desert me
open the book show me what you can find

tell me again all the things "I" should do
show me with fraud why you can't do the same
Rob us again of the things we are needing
Show me where God approves of your games

if you can...


~Tier

I like the write Tier, just not the premise.

But you write it as well as any.
