The Sign Reads Life

Well Lord here I go again I’m hanging on the edge. It just seems like every time I try to climb I wind up out on a ledge. I don’t know what I keep doing wrong but help me if You can. After all You know what I am Sir, I’m just a mortal man. I’m trying hard I hope You know, I hope You understand. The devil had me for so long, when I followed his command. Since I broke free, he keeps grabbing at me, I think I made him mad. But it’s my soul I’m fighting for and if he doesn’t like it I guess it’s just too bad. I need You to kind of watch my back when he comes slipping around. Be glad when he gets sent away, all neat and tightly bound. Lord I know I’m not much of a catch, but please don’t throw me back. It’s mighty hard when you’ve been bad to follow in Your righteous tracks. I know it’s Your will so I’ll do my best to make You proud of me. But I’m fighting hard and I’ve still got a ways until I’m fully free. Like it says in Matthews, wide is the gate and broad the way which leads to destruction. Here lately the road I’ve been on has been pretty torn up and full of construction. There’s a sign up ahead narrow is the way, and strait is the gate. On down the road I see the gate with a sign that reads “Life”, could this be my fate. For all you yahoos out there, who think you’re too far gone, think again. Man why do you think Jesus died on that cross, so God would forgive us our sins. As long as we’re still alive and breathing we still have a chance. Be a soldier in our Saviors army, He paid your way in advance. Think about it, prove me wrong. Bud I’m praying for your soul, while the devil’s just leading you on.
