Duplicity


Romans 3:4 

4 Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as

a liar, just as it is written: “so that you will be justified in your words and

will prevail when you are judged.”

 

Duplicity

 

Look and you shall find although it appears different

In the most unusual places you’ll find what you’re searching for

When you least expect it you’ll run into what you needed

Mostly after you replaced the thing you were looking for

 

You can’t take back what you have bought for replacement

You’ve got to keep and pay for what now appears a double

I guess I better enjoy being in this land of opportunity

As it lays a foundation formed by so much trouble
