Unsaved
We prayed together my mother and me
She held my little praying hands
enclosed within hers
I told my mother I believed
The next Sunday they baptize me
Hallelujah and Glory be
My church was now my Godly family
Being a boy of ten
I wander if I had sin
For nothing changed inside of me
I was still that boy I used to be.
I walked up to the stage and kneeled
In a tent as big as I ever saw
I walked up to the preacher man’s call
Revival to wash away my sin
Revival to renew my faith again
Singing and praise full in the air
My mother’s eyes full of her praying tears
I was a boy of fourteen
but still inside I felt nothing
Hallelujah and Glory be
Would Jesus really want me
I left the church at twenty one
I had pray all the praying that could be done
Motions and words I repeated and spoke
But I was unsure I felt like a joke
My mother wept for me
Deaf upon my ears her pleas
I was young the world was fun
I needed nothing I needed no one
Life was empty life was cold
Pleasures dull on dead end roads
My mother passed when i was thirty-three
Inside I pain alone and lonely
The world was only boring
At forty-two living down
on my door knocking sound
Brothers and sisters testify
inviting me their church to try
I slam the door in a cursing cuss
They shake their shoes of my dust
Than a ring a chime a charm
Inside I felt alarm
I open my door to only see
Myself at ten staring up at me
Eyes wide open and peer
Right into me they stare
My younger self I hear
Don’t believe what you see
For I as you am nothing
He walked right into my skin
Vanishing in me within
I felt something deep inside
I felt I lived but was never alive
That night my mother held my hands as we prayed
I was that little boy of yesterday
Faith is more then trying to believe
Faith is love we receive
From prayers of souls now and the past
Knowing God has set our path
No matter the sorrows or the pain
We will rise to Glory in His Name
Hallelujah and Glory be
I awoke from my dream
That Sunday I visited the Church that ask me
Would I be shun and given misery
But brothers and sisters welcomed me
Shaking my hand true smiles I see
I listen to the pastor preach
I felt my heart tug with it’s reach
A call for Grace with salvation hymn
I was walking up just as I am
I kneeled and felt the pastor’s arm around me
We prayed and he witness and I believed
Christ my savior died and rose to cleanse my sins
I confessed all of them
My church family in prayer hands in the air
I felt warmth and inside cheer
A happiness in waves a mind clear
Inside a glow that was always there
I am saved by the Blood of the Lamb
Jesus loves just as I am
Each member of the church gave a hug and smile
I was a part of their Christian family now
That Sunday night I was baptize
My spirit was revised
So when i knock upon your door
In my eyes you may see that boy of before
But he is eager to tell the story
Of God’s love and the way to Glory
Hear me out and you will see
The love of God that glows within me
