Poem
Please don't bother preaching to me I don't want to hear what you have to say You can keep your religion And I will keep my faith I don't need your Church To find a Higher Power I met my maker In my darkest hour You pay your tithes And I will pay it forward And in the end, we both Will receive our just rewards Heed the righteous sermons Sing the Gospel Hymns Kneel at the altar Confess to your sins Read the Holy Bible Love thy neighbors Say your evening prayers That'll please your Savior You live the Christian life But only you know If your heart is pure And God will save your soul I don't need no one to tell me What I know in my heart to be truth Who needs a book full of stories When they're surrounded by proof If ever I had a doubt I just need to look around At the glory of His creations The miracles abound I don't have to believe I know that God is real I may never make it to Heaven But He spared my soul from Hell In the depths of my despair I committed suicide But by the grace of a loving God I am still alive So with the second chance that I was given This is what I intend to do Just live my life And do the best that I can do I am only human And I'm going to make mistakes I'm sure that God is aware of that Since He is the one that made me this way I'm not going to live in regret I'll always do my best to change And I'll be a better person As long as I do the next right thing If I do unto others And there is love in my heart And I lend a helping hand Then I've done my part I just think that organized religion Is a substitute for real faith But any path that leads to God Is Big Business headed the right way 10/18/15
