The Law of Murphy Revisited

II Corinthians 4:5 & 6

We preach not ourselves but about Christ,
As servants for the sake of who sacrificed;
God commanded light to shine out of dark,
Giving light on insight to where we embark;
Travel to the Glory of God in Christ's face,
Looks on us with favor walking in His grace;
Our journey through life just seems so long,
As in Murphy's Law anything can go wrong;
Maybe because Murphy was not Christian,
Or did not understand Divine intervention;
Never calling on God in times of trouble,
In leaving uncorrected will even double;
Murphy only preached a law of His own,
Maybe did not like Laws written on stone;
Probably did not see the truth and light,
And wrote his law in the dead of night;
He might never even looked in the Bible,
Never spent a single day being humble;
Could a reason for all of Murphy's woes,
Maybe something that God only knows.
