The preacher had lasted for hours
Preaching the Good News.
The atmosphere was hot.
The drunk walked to the preacher
And said:
Pray for me, man of God.
What the preacher knows best to do,
The preacher stretched his hands in prayers:
I bind the spirit of drunkenness in you.
Receive it! Receive it!! Receive it!!!
As if it was over, but it was not;
The drunk turned to the preacher and said:
I bind the spirit of loquaciousness in you.
Learn how not to disturb people with Christ’s name.
Spectators were entertained.
But many said it was blasphemy.
But who was actually blaspheming?
