Life is Good

Am I crazy I might be I don’t mind I was lost I don’t remember when But here I am I don’t know why But by the grace of God Streets filled with busy shoppers laughing buying Busy shoppers arrive home bags full a warm bed Concerned that something should be done easily said When you are well fed Life is good when your mattress isn’t the sidewalk But here I am by the grace of God I am crazy I have been told more than once Jesus ate with the sinners and tax collectors I know I was there Jesus touched the unclean when many wouldn’t And they touched Him and He touched me So many looking for hope whatever the cost Life’s a gamble, scratch the card the big one elusive Life is good when your mattress isn’t the sidewalk But by the grace of God here I am Frank Black Blacharczyk
