The Reason Why

Another day is now passing leaving all I know behind As to what I've been amassing I suddenly can't find Everything that I learned and all that I was taught With so little being discerned thus is what I wrought Every memory that I had every person I ever met It all seems like just a fad and all those things that I let From way back when or even in just my yesterday Yet in all the words that I pen there is never any such dismay While my own way was so dimly lit and so often empty Yet even I must admit that of this my writing is free And where my way is broken having not even a right to say The Lord has spoken and it is Him that I could not betray In shedding that outer skin and seeking deep down inside Well with Jesus dying for my sin that strips away any pride And all that suffering He had to endure it breaks my heart in two As every word He does cure for it is only His Word that is true So though I may write and color the sky blue I have never meant to be trite to any one of you But if you do seek to live a life filled with glory Then just let me speak and tell you of His story
