The Mouse Brigade

The Mouse Brigade

The long night of the mouse brigade;
friend do you ever recall?
How over run my house had become;
when creatures ran up the wall.
``````````````````````````````````````````
`We sat at the table reading
our bibles with pure delight.
Me with my feet up on the chair,
those mice could be such a fright.
``````````````````````````````````````````
Then suddenly it struck you," Hey
there's power in Jesus name!"
We commanded those mice to flee!
Thier response made us exclaim!
`````````````````````````````````````````
Glory to God in the highest;
the Word, His power displayed.
All creation's subject to Him,
as viewed in this mouse brigade.
`````````````````````````````````````````
Clamoring out by the window,
they ran, it was such a sight.
Prayed in the name of Jesus and
the mice all ran off that night.
`````````````````````````````````````````
What's become of those two young girls
depending on Jesus' aide?
Who laughed and beheld one dark night
the flight of the mouse brigade.
``````````````````````````````````````````````

Thank you for your kind words.  It actually happened, just as I told it, in the fall of 1983.
