No Place for the Pharmakon (Revelation 22:15)

Here's a new (proprietary) song lyric that still awaits a musical setting. (If you want to write one, let me know, and maybe we can work something out.) But I wanted to post this without any further delay, to set up a marker. Perhaps this, by the grace of God, will awaken some sinner and snatch him from the fire.


The poisoners will not be there is heaven

The murderers, idolaters, or the scavengers

The media will be gone

with the false and the imitation

The sorcerers will all be forgotten


A good man named Strong 

once said of the pharmakon

he will drug you into living an illusion

thinking you can force God

to give up your fortune.

But heaven has no place for the pharmakon.


A good man named Strong 

once said of the pharmakon

he will drug you into living an illusion.

He thinks he can sway God

to heighten his fortune.

But heaven has no place for the pharmakon.
