One night is enough
Hebrews 13:5 New English Translation (NET Bible)
5 Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”
One night is enough ... welcome daylight
Came to a hotel in a bad part of town
is this where I want to be?
Hundreds of dollars fly out the door
to just being spent on me.
Is it worth it ... who can tell?
I know that crime is here.
This morning someone broke into a car
of some fellows who were here with me.
Looking at the room it seems all right
some old furniture and a desk.
A plain old bed and a common pot
just a place to get some rest.
I decided to stay in this place.
Why I really don’t know?
So I could walk to a conference
and feel safe when on the go?
