Now have you read of the fable of Cain and Abel?
|
Once they were in a scandal that shook the town.
|
Cain became mighty jealous of brother Abel,
|
So he rose up and smote Abel down.
|
|
Now the Lord sure was hopping mad,
|
And yet he was plenty sad,
|
to think that he had a man like Cain.
|
|
The Lord spoke and showed his wrath,
|
And Cain walked the path
|
That led to a life full of pain.
|
|
You can't run from the shadow of retribution.
|
If you're bad then you gotta pay for your wrongs.
|
Let yourself take a lesson from Cain and Able:
|
|
Don't lament, be content,
|
Don't resent what the Lord has sent,
|
And you'll find that you're bound to get along.
