Religion

I don't like religion and All it's legalistic ways. You can't do this And you must do that In order to get God's praise. It say's I must live a righteous Life and do my very best, Then you'll get God's favour, And then you will be blessed. I don't like religion and All it's legalistic ways, you can't do this And you must do that, In order to get God's praise. It says I must obey the law Never get out of line, Keep on doing my very best Then you will be fine. I used to be religious The best that I could be, And live up to a standard For God to accept me. Then one day I met this man Who came to visit me. He opened up the Bible For things for me to see. He spoke to me about God's Son And how he died for me, To take away all my sin, And to set me free. Now I know God loves me, Not for what I've done. So you can keep all that religion, My savation's in God's Son.

I too like this read very much and the way it was composed, flow, rhyme, verses. If I may though, not to correct you, but to ask, would the last verse, 2nd line, sound better as, "despite of what I've done"? JUst a thought but still a very good read. Michael
