I Ain'T As Tough As I Thought I Was

As a young man, I used to think I was fairly tough, I really wasn’t mean, I just liked playing rough. I thought being able to take pain was the measure of a man, When everyone else said they couldn’t, I always replied I can. I couldn’t think of anything that really put fear in me, But in the back of my mind I knew there was something out there that was going to show me up, you see. Well years passed and I hadn’t changed much, Then one day something happened, I felt the Savior’s touch. Before that day I thought it was sissified for a man to show emotions or so much as shed a tear, But after that day life started changing and things were much more clear. I used to make a joke that if I went into a church the ceiling might fall, Well the joke was on me all along I was just plain scared to answer that call. I guess I always believed in the Bible and what it said, I just thought I was too far gone, And I think that was why I was from the church so distant and withdrawn. But the glorious part of this story is I was the type Jesus was seeking all along, And according to the Bible we all fall short, we’ve all done our share of wrong.
