From Here To Now
"From Here to Now"
by: Eric L. Boddie
I am a man, but I am not what He Intended
That is not the truth, but still, we pretend it
You see, God doesn't make mistakes, that's the Ultimate Fact
So without Him, it is impossible to keep Life intact
No man is worthy of Heaven, imperfection makes that clear and plain
He Loves us so much that He Died to Shield us from the unholy pain
Still, so many don't Believe, still, so many others wonder how
And so many lack the directions of how to get from here to now
You see, my body....my body is right here
Now I have to conquer the temptations it holds so dear
You see, my mind....my mind is right here
Now I must allow Him to keep it sound and clear
You see, my Soul....my Soul is right here
Now it is time to put negative things in the rear
You see, my time....my time is right here
Now I must spend it being another's peer
You see, my Love....my Love is right here
Now I must use it to bring another cheer
You see, my journey....my journey is right here
Now I must follow the direction for which God Will Be The One To Steer
You see, my chance....my chance is right here
Now I must accept God's Challenge without any kind of fear
You see, my Life....my Life is right here
Now I must use it for His Service or else hell will be the reason for my tears
From here to now, it is up to me to find my way
But I know that He Will Guide me, for you to do the same is the reason that I Pray
