Electric Eel
Shocking Redemption: Lessons from an Electric Eel Encounter
Lyrics
God struck me down
God struck the speaker down
He did it to me because I was playing with him
The speaker believes they were struck down by God for playing with Him
That teaches me a lesson not to do it again
Reflecting on the experience, the speaker learns a lesson not to repeat playing with God
