BY THEIR FRUITS
I cannot help but wonder as I wander through this life
And try to find a purpose in this world of toil and strife
Why don’t I have a Moses or a Noah as my guide
Like those who came before me had amongst them to abide
Why can’t I find the likes of men like Peter, James and John
Does God not see I need them here to teach of right and wrong
I’ve heard some stand and preach that “God doth send these men no more!”
Yet common sense and scripture lends this theory no support
For when the Savior warned of false Christ’s he did simply say
“Believe it not” for none but I shall come in latter day
But when he spoke of prophets, other counsel he did give
You’ll know them “by their fruits”…by what they teach and how they live
Thus why would Christ have taught this if he had no plan in mind
To send down prophets for to dwell amongst us in our time
It seems that if no prophets were intended for our day
“Believe it not” would have been the more fitting thing to say
But such is not the case and so I’ll reason and conclude
Somewhere in our midst there must be…a prophet that is true
