Foundation

Foundation

I didn’t have it right
My foundation was collapsing
I didn’t know it but I had replaced God

Numerology had taken my glance away
My prayers had stopped 
I was looking for answers in my life with numbers.

We have a jealous God
He knows we will get off course when we do this
I went into a deep depression I have been gone for a while

Layers of decision, when righteous, 
build line upon line 
It makes a strong unwavering center, 
of faith and trust even in youth 
the only real saving stability
are in the eternal commandments of truth.
