We Can\u2019t Afford \u2026<\/b><\/p>\n
We can\u2019t afford to win the gain that means another\u2019s loss; We can\u2019t afford to miss the crown by stumbling at the cross. We can\u2019t afford the heedless jest that robs us of a friend; We can\u2019t afford the race that comes to tragic bitter end.<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t afford to play with fire, or tempt a serpent\u2019s bite We can\u2019t afford to think that sin brings any true delight. We can\u2019t afford with serious heed to treat the cynic\u2019s sneer, We can\u2019t afford to wise men\u2019s words to turn a careless ear.<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t afford for hate to give like hatred in return; We can\u2019t afford to feed a flame and make it fiercer burn. We can\u2019t afford to lose the soul for this world\u2019s fleeting breath; We can\u2019t afford to barter life in mad exchange for death.<\/p>\n
How blind are we apart from thee, our great all-seeing Lord; Oh, grant us light that we may know the things we can\u2019t afford.<\/p>\n
