Is It Possible
Is it possible to be looked at
And not judged by my exterior
To walk into a church
And not feel as though I’m inferior
Is it because I’m not dressed like you
That for some reason it makes you feel somewhat superior
Is it possible for church members
To stop running folks away
And to lead us, by their actions
On the path to the right way
To tell us of the promise
Of a brighter and better day
Letting us know that sometimes
We do get led astray
And that if I were to fall,
Things will still be okay
If I just go to my quiet place,
Call on God and pray
For him to take control of my life
And show me the way
Or is it that I need
To stop looking at man
To pick up my bible and read
To better myself the best way that I can
Knowing that as long as I have God
Alone, I will never stand
Not worrying about what people think
Because their judgments can't take me to my father's land
Maybe it’s not the church folk
That’s running me away
Could it be that my own insecurities and fears
just won’t let me stay
Within the fellowship of God’s people
So away I continue to stray
I’m going to fall to my knees
And pray about this thing without any further delay
Cause it’s not right to blame others
When I’m the cause of my own disarray.
