What Songs we sing

One day a young man was walking along the beach when he came across a salt encrusted piece of metal, after working for an hour or so to remove the salt, lo and behold it was a very old oil lamp. Thinking it may be of some value and perhaps he might be able to sell it on ebay, he continued to clean it up some more by beginning to polish it, when poof! out pops a genie. Now the genie was so glad to be out of this lamp he granted the young man three wishes. "My first wish" said the young man, "is to be one dollar richer then Bill Gates". The genie did not know who Bill Gates was so the young man told him to check out Forbes, so pulling the latest edition from the lamp, the genie found that Bill Gates was the richest man in the world and said, " you shall be forever one dollar richer then Bill Gates, what is your second wish?"Well the young man thought ans thought, and then asked for the most expensive Porsche ever built, fire engine red, with GPS location system and the most awesome sound system ever installed in an automobile. The genie said, "that's easy" and pulled one right out of the lamp. Then asked, "What is your third wish?" Well now the young man was in trouble, for he thought really hard and just could not think of what is should be, he thought should I wish for a very beautiful woman, no, I am the richest man in the world surely I will be a chick magnet now, perhaps I should wish for world peace, no weirdo's and beauty queens ask for thank, so he ask the genie, " can I hold off on that a bit?" the genie said that was most unusual however since the young man held the lamp, he had no choice, he said, " I will return into the lamp and just call me when you are ready" so the young man place the now very valuable lamp in the trunk of his new car and drove off the beach onto the highway, 60, 70, 80 and he was rolling along, he turned on his radio system, balanced the 36 speakers, and was so happy, this is the life, he began singing so loudly along with the music, " I wish I were an Oscar Meyer....Poof!

The moral is be careful what your song is,

Bless the lord, Oh my soul and all that is within me bless His Holy name!
