Could You Qualify For An Angel   Every man, woman, and child on earth, Were lined up to apply for the job, The position to be filled that glorious day, Was to be chosen an Angel of God.   Ten questions only appeared on their form, And a roar of approval was heard, Each person thought how simple it would be, To jot down a few qualifying words.   Their shouts of confidence soon turned to dismay, As they continued to glance down the page, Scratching their heads as they wondered, How on earth they'd ever be saved.   The very first question they read from the form, Said 'I am the Lord your God', "Are you grateful I led you from bondage"? And for that, most gave a nod.   Placing no other gods before me, Read only second on this list of ten, But already the crowd was dwindling, Many realizing that they did offend.   You shall not utter the Lords name in vain, Caused multitudes to take a step back, The earth was then heard to tremble, As its crust did develop a crack.   Remember to keep Holy the Sabbath Brought business leaders to their knees, Making a mockery of this commandment, And for this, God was not very pleased.   Honor your father and your mother, At this, many tears did fall, Most of those who applied for the job, Failed in complying with this call.   Next, was you shall not commit murder, Those words cast many to the ground, Millions were responsible for killing, In their hearts no mercy could be found.   Followed by, you shall not commit adultery, In shame many covered their face, The crowd that once numbered billions, Now scarcely a visible trace.   Next came the eighth commandment, Saying, that you shall not steal, Brought confessions of guilt from many, That fell back in the ranks and kneeled.   Bearing false witness against your neighbor, Was now heard by the remaining few, The number of those who had failed in their bid, Stood to the side, with me and you.   Do not covet your neighbors house nor his wife, And by then there was not a soul left, Which proves when it comes to commandments, We have all fallen short of the test.     ~valentyne~ © If Jesus Came To Your House Red Solvine
