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
