After These Things

I ask myself do you really believe 
this, are you buying this. Only a fool 
asks no questions about what he's 
following, even Solomon in all his 
wisdom he still fell hard and 
shamed the name of God...looks like 
I'm following after my ancestry, I'm 
walking ass backwards I'm nothing 
more than a Christian atheist I'll 
admit it, so I try to dig myself out 
this bottomless pit because still at 
the end of this tunnel is forgiveness 
if I can repent this, I'm a train 
wreck. But sometimes you gotta go 
threw hell in order to be able to 
witness that Heaven isn't a fictitious 
place, sometimes you gotta go 
threw a little hell to show someone 
that after these things your sins too 
can be erased and God's grace 
hasn't left you stranded. I'm not 
right and it feels like everyone 
knows it, this heart I have isn't right 
it's been long overdue for me to 
dispose it, conviction leaves your 
heart & emotions exposed, but still 
after these things there's still hope. 
No matter what good deeds I do or 
how Holy I think I am I'm still not 
good enough, I came too far to give 
up now, time to refocus on the 
mission ahead, this flesh is 
destructive and man still needs that 
living water and daily bread
