Whosoeverville

Every Whosoever down in 
     Whosoeverville loved Jesus alot….

But the Sinnerster who lived just 
     outside of Whosoeverville did NOT….


Sinnerster paced and he paced 
   looking outside of his grungy cave
Sinnerster cursed the bright light coming
   from atop the hill
Because atop the hill was Whosoeverville

Back and forth and back and forth
He paced and he paced
   faster and faster and faster

Then 

Sinnerster suddenly stopped: 
   He glared at Klaw his evil cat with his evil grin
Sinnerster grumbled and said, "You sin I sin
"We all need to sin, Sin, SIN!!!"

His wicked laughter then echoed in his barren house
It echoed SIN…SIN…SIn…Sin…sin….throughout

For Sinnerster hated and he loathed 
   every Whosoever up atop the hill in Whosoeverville
He said, "I will make them hate Jesus, I will, I will!"

He kicked at Klaw and he kicked the kitchen door
He kicked his lamp and it broke on the floor
"It was too bright anyway" 
   he said as he flung it away

Mumbling, grumbling, bumbling, stumbling
   He fumbled and tumbled for his keys in the dark
"I will make them hate Jesus in their heart…."

The Sinnerster found the keys and went out 
   to his rusty SinnerSportster
He opened the rusty door with a
            SQUAWeeeEEEEEEEEKut!
And laughing Sinnersterly BAHLAM! he slammed it shut.
Klaw his cat jumped in through the broken window into the space behind
   and together they roared up the hill toward Whosoeverville

Up atop the hill in peaceful Whosoeverville 
   where the shining love of Jesus Christ was so bright
There lived the loving family of little Whosoevers
   right next to the River they called WhosoeverLife

Climbing gleefully into the Whosoever Willow Tree 
   was Whosoever Willy
Willy was smiling, joyfully laughing, climbing to the top
"Whosoever will, Whosoever willy, Whosoever Willy cannot stop!
"Ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha, ha-ha-ha-ha!"

You see in Whosoeverville they loved their trees, especially
the One Tree they called Life.

Just then Whosoever Pappa looked out from the window
"Whosoever Willy, would you please get down?!?"

"But Dad…" said Whosoever Willy. Whosoever Willy was suddenly so sad.

Just then with a roar coming up the hill was the Sinnerster in his SinnerSportster tearing up the grass somehow.

Whosoever Pappa frantically fumed: 
   "Whosoever Willy, would you PLEASE COME HOME NOW?"

Willy say the SinnerSportster too and he immediately knew what to do.

You see Whosoever Willy and his good friends knew what to do:
   They practiced for this day when SinnerSportster would want his way.
   They ran and dove behind a fallen log.

---Roarrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! went the SinnerSportster---
spurting ground up grass and mucky mud behind

Then Whosoever Willy and Whosoever Lilly pushed and pushed
   as hard as they could. They pushed with their legs.
   They pushed with their backs. They pushed with their arms.
Finally! The log gave way and went tumbling 
   down……Down…….DOWN 
   Whosoever Hill out of Whosoeverville 
   then with a hop

                BAM!  BOOM!  BAM.

The SinnerSportster was stopped!

But….the Sinnerster was not amused as he crawled out of the rusty car.
He kicked and kursed at Klaw his evil cat and then he hopped and
stomped on the hood and--

                Suddenly he stopped. 

Then he smiled with his evil grin…and stroked his evil chin.
   "I have it! I know what to do! Those Whosoevers just gave me some ideas:
    I am going to tear down all their precious trees! 
    Har har har har har har……..that will get them to sin!"

He glared at Klaw his evil cat with his evil grin
Sinnerster grumbled and said, "You sin I sin
"We all need to sin, Sin, SIN!!!"
His wicked laughter then echoed on Whosoever Hill
It echoed SIN…SIN…SIn…Sin…sin….until

Whosoever Willy and Whosever Lilly heard it
   and they got up and they ran and ran 
   as fast as their Whosoever legs could go.
  They ran with their face in the hands, crying
  "Oh no, Oh no, Oh no!"

Then Whosoever Mamma and Whosoever Pappa said,
   "What will become of our beautiful trees?"
The littlest Whosoever who's name is Millie said,
   "Don't worry, Momma and Pappa, Jesus sees!
    If we remember that Jesus always wins, 
    He'll protect us from Sinnerster and his evil sins."

Back at the cave, SinnerSter got out his SinnerSaw 3,
   He screamed and he boasted, "Down with all their trees!"
   With an evil eye he shined the SinnerSaw up
   "Hee, hee, hee, hee!"

His laughter echoed out of the cave and up the hill and through
   The Whosoever trees.

Then in faith Whosoever Millie echoed back to Sinnerster, singing
    "God is control; Jesus Christ is here. 
     He takes care of us; he takes away our fear.
     So you hee, hee, hee, hee all that you want,
     But you won’t keep us from loving God!"

Sinnerster heard these words and grumbled and said,
    "This is about all I can take!"

Sinnerster got into his SinnerSportster with his SinnerSaw 3
    And he roared up the hill with an evil shake.
He went to the middle of Whosoeverville 
    by the Tree of Life which stood tall
He took his SinnerSaw 3 and with a brrrrrrrrrrrroar!!! 
    He tried to saw it down.

But God's Tree of Life would not fall.

Whosoever Millie kept singing and the rest joined her too
    "God is control; Jesus Christ is here. 
       He takes care of us; he takes away our fear.
         He loves us and he loves you too
           Choose life because He chose you"

The more Sinnerster tried to saw 
his heart grew more and more!

As he came to himself he realized that loving is better than hating
and without waiting, sobbing he said,
      "I want the Holy Ghost
      "I learned my lesson
      "Loving is better than sinning
      "I want Jesus on my side
      "Instead of frowning….now…..I'll be grinning!"

Sinnerster was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ 
    in the River of WhosoeverLife
And his name was changed to Bro. Lovingster
    and Klaw's name was changed too.
Klaw was now Martha -- she really was a girl!
    Her full name is Martha Sue.

        Then suddenly a light came down 
        It shone from Heaven above
        And everyone is Whosoeverville
        Was filled with God's love


And they sang,
"God is in control; Jesus Christ is here. 
        He takes care of us; he takes away our fear.
        There's no reason to live in caves and hide!
        Whosoever comes to the Water will drink and never die

"God is in control; Jesus Christ is here. 
        He takes care of us; he takes away our fear.
        He loves us and we love Him too
        We choose life because He chose you"

And he….
                He HIMSELF!
                                    Bro. Lovingster sang the last verse

"God is in control; Jesus Christ is here. 
        He takes care of me; he took away my fear.
        So you hee, hee, hee, hee all that you want,
        But you won’t keep me from loving God!"
