Sweet Piece of Cake

I am in the process of generating lyrics for the summer camp program at Camp Lone Star in LaGrange, Texas. The theme for the summer is BROUGHT NEAR based on Ephesians 2. Day 2 of the camp week is focusing on how God destroyed the barrier that separates us. Paul is the focus, specifically his conversion on the road to Damascus. Here is my imagining of Paul's comments on his own ministry and some of the treatment he received as a result of it.

Sweet Piece of Cake

I have been in danger from rivers
From thieves, from my countrymen
In danger form everybody
Time and time again

But I’d do it again in a minute
It’s been a piece of cake so sweet
If I boast, I will boast of my struggles
For they’ve been at Jesus’ feet.

In danger in the cities and countries
Many times I haven’t slept
I have been cold and hungry
For ya’ll I have wept..

Refrain

I have been in prison so often
Been naked and left for dead
I’ve been beaten and lashed 40 times minus one
I’m black and blue from toe to head.

Refrain
