This Old Creek

With this spoken-word performance, I may sing a song such as "you Are So Beautiful To Me", in acapella spiritual form. Thinking out loud.
Preparing for a show. Today, youth don't think of tomorrow. I want them to think and desire to find true love.


~~~ 

Little Johnny wanted to know Jesus, But  no one would show him how.

So by the light of a silvery moon,  Little Johnny did go to the old creek and bow.

He grew up and went off to school,  and one day he did return.

Johnny studied hard,  and a preacher he'd become.

  He  led his congregation under the light of that silvery moon.


As they held hands and bowed down by the creek,  they listened to Little Johnny speak.

"If we all go to Heaven tomorrow,   Religion we did not follow,  Jesus is our Savior.

I Met Him here - by This Old Creek."

Johnny was wise in the wisdom from above.
Jesus is the One who can lead us to heaven.

I think this was a valiant attempt at being poignant that fell far short and was only made worse by the very annoying repitition of the word "Creek" in the last four lines. But I think it could be fleshed out into something good with a little more thought and effort.

What does religion really mean? If it is a true religion, it should follow what Jesus told us in the gospels. That way is a path to heaven. Victor
