Poem
I serve the Lord By the things I do I am his servant These words are true My eyes have seen things Only evil men know My heart has lived places Only evil men go My mind has thought things Only evil men think My lips have tasted things Only evil men drink I have lived places Only evil men live I have gave orders Only evil men give I once traded my soul To live in a flask I lived in the shadows Adorned with a mask My truth is my honor My words are my plight I serve the Lord By the words that I write I no longer grow old By the light of the moon No longer is my soul Swimming in a spoon I serve the Lord By the things that I do Have no doubt in your heart These words are true Once in a miracle Through the words of a rhyme A sinner found Christ And stopped doing time Set free on a mission To enlighten your soul I follow the Lord In search of my goal The man that I was No longer exist He died the first time My wife and I kissed Inside of a box I decided to pray Stepping out of the darkness Embracing the day I serve the Lord Through the words I write Your soul is my mission Serving God is my plight I don’t criticize or judge That’s just not my way I simply bow my head And for everyone I pray The prayer is quite simple It’s a spiritual bath I just ask the Lord To enlighten your path The brighter the light The lighter the Son When this life is over This job will be done I follow the Lord He guides my path It’s all very simple No complicated math I serve the Lord In all that I do If you wish to know why It’s because I love you
