BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Beauty and the Beast

He stood 7'1" and weighed four hundred and fifty nine pounds!
The Guards steered clear of him when they made their rounds!

He was called "KONG" by all inmates in the know!
Most had witnessed or felt the power behind his crushing blows!

Once seven Cons attacked KONG and tried to take him out!
KONG broke their arms and legs as he tossed them all about!

They say "Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn!"
Hell and Fury had befriended KONG on the day that he was born!

One day KONG had a visitor demanding to see him face to face!
It was a little blonde girl of seven wearing silk and lace.

She told KONG he was her Daddy as she looked into his eyes!
She said "Mommy told me all about you just before she died!"

She said "I've come to this prison to fix a thing or two!"
"First, you need Jesus in your heart to make you all brand-new!"

KONG sensed the truth of her words as they cut him deep within!
His heart felt like a lead weight wrapped up with the chains of sin!

Everyone watched in awe as Jennie took KONG by the hand!
They knelt together and prayed; this small child and mighty giant of a man!

KONG began to shake and cry just like a little child!
As he asked God and Jennie to forgive him for his past so vile!

Like Paul on the Damascus road changed by the Power of God!
KONG arose as a Christian Daddy with a brand-new path to trod!

Jennie's childlike faith in God did what no man could do!
It humbled a Mighty Giant and made him all brand-new!
