Knowledge

I woke up this morning with a thirst that no water could cure The want and need to be pure It was a thirst for knowledge but not of books The knowledge and education I wanted was for the Lord I know this is something I have to do on his accord He seemed to be a stranger someone I did not know But with everyday my love continues to grow Though I have not considered myself a true Christian I like to think I have been doing the lords work and mission I have learned a lot about him and his intent in the last year or two He has helped me put down the bottle and forget the bars He has slowly helped me cure my anger and scars Though I don’t give him the thanks and praise he deserves everyday I make mistakes yet I like to think I am on my way To a better life one I can live for him A life free from worry and sin I feel like I have a weight and a worry That I can’t live this life the way I should Every time I think about church there is no hurry Though I know the end is near I feel like I can wait with no fear This voice inside my head and my heart Keeps telling me he is knocking and it is time to do my part Don’t wait another day get down on your knees and pray This world won’t last forever And if you don’t there will be no happy ever after
