Yes, I Do Believe

I pick up my pen again today Then proceed to write my cares away I don’t try to cast them to the side They are much too powerful to hide They’re in my heart, soul, mind and desires Am I wrong to try and aspire? I rise up to become all that I can be I’m proud that our Lord has chosen me If our Lords the Mechanic then I’m the tool If he’s the teacher than I’m the school Let our Lord be the bottle and open the spout Turn him upside down and then pour me out Pour me out so the whole world can see That true freedoms found in honesty Where ever I land just let me soak in As good a place as any for me to begin To open my soul and place my heart on my sleeve Letting the entire world know “Yes, I do believe"

It's good to be chosen. and to be used by Him. He used me in county jail one time but i didn't know it until it was over. and now He's chosen me for the ministry and i'm in it all the way. trust and believe. good work John H Loving III
