IF I WERE A DEER
If I were a deer
I’d be so sleek and so fast
I’d search the world over
For life ever last
If I were a deer
I’d travel the unknown path
Without being in fear
Of Satan’s temptation or wrath
If I were a deer
I’d bound through valleys of green
In places in heaven
No one else has ever seen
If I were a deer
With sure footed deer feet
I’d feast on fresh manna
So tender and sweet
If I were a deer
I’d climb mountains so high
That the tips of my antlers
Would touch the blue sky
If I were a deer
Panting with thirst from the chase
I’d drink form a cool stream
That reflected God’s true face
But I’m not a deer
God’s magnificent creation
I’m just a humble sinner
In need of Christ’s salvation
Ps.41(42):2(1)

If I was a deer I would want the ability to shoot back - seems only fair :-)))
Interesting message but I prefer logic and reason :-)))))))
