look who's laughing now
Look Who’s Laughing Now
Christy Bahr
November 21, 2003
Did the enemy laugh in your face
While you walked in sin’s disgrace?
As you trudged up Calvary’s hill,
Did he mock you with the news
Of those that did abuse
And reject you still?
How you came unto your own
You they would not own
For they did not recognize their own God.
You robed yourself in human skin
So that salvation they might win,
But the path of sin they still trod.
Now, I should not be heir to your grace
Nor ever hope to see your face
But you claimed me as your own
My heart sings with joy
For the mercy I employ
As I boldly approach your throne.
He laughs and mocks when I fall
And then trembles when on Your Name I call
Then You uphold me with Your hand
He’s angry when You give me victory
And sees the forgiveness you pour over me
It’s something he will never understand.
For as the enemy mocked and laughed at you
You knew someday it would be true
That I would keep my vow
To love you with heart, soul, and mind
As your favor I will find
And I can say, “Look who’s laughing now!”

Very nice one, Christy! Thank you for dropping in!
RYC:I needed a bit of comedy relief with all that's going on here at home ... hence, the Flowbee! But I come here for inspiration!! You have a wonderful week!

One day, we really will have the last laugh, won't we? Good one!
RYC: Thank you for continuing to pray for my son!
You write beautiful and strong poetry.
RYC: I didn't take Tylenol with codeine for the entire recovering period. Like you suggested, I am taking Advil which has anti-inflammatory effect. And I did take two pre-opt Amoxicillin. It's nice that I'm going through surgery once in my life time, reinforces the things I'm learning in pharmacy school!
That's very good!
RYC: You are so right. I left you a comment on my site.
