    NOTHING BUT  GOD CAN SATISFY ME

WHEN  I'M ALL ALONE AND SLEEPING ON A SHELF, THERE'S NOTHING NO NOTHING   

                                    ELSE THAT CAN SATISFY?????

                                                        > JELSR<

A feather is heavier than an anvil
Have you ever sat on a Styrofoam saddle
and a story is words place together that hasn't been told
Like a book that has been written and not sold
gold a mineral that I have no need for
And anything that I may walk on
This unleveled floor
gold a mineral I have no need for
anything that I may walk on not that important why... cause I

Rather have God

A letter in word may make sentences
And when spoken out can be sharper than a two edged sword
and I'm wondering, wondering how I can get round
My ears hearing the dreaded sounds
Air is here but you can't see it
and the wind calms down sometime you can even feel it
but a story is words placed together that hasn't been told
Like a book that has been written not sold
Gold a minerals that I have no need for
And anything that I may walk on has already been walked on
gold a mineral I have no need for
A negative word out your mouth is sharper than a two edged sword;
Anything that I may walk on not that important

I
Rather Have God
