The Change
I wonder just how much a divine intervention
Would grasp so much a heart's attention
To cleanse the heart of deadly gain
To avoid a much deeper down the road pain
Childish thinking would let me allow
prosperity of the world the way it is now
to let me live my best life today
to hope for eternity on another day
I remember the past and the men who served
Gave up their lives and in doing so swerved
The focus on religion; to them I applaud
For putting the attention back on God
One night my wife asked "Why do you care?"
Because the evil that existed is still lurking there
Slammed her glass and walked away
And I never saw her after that day
As I wished her well as she left my side
I couldn't help but cry for my once was bride
She left me because she couldn't bear
The thought of what kept me here; to care
Despite that when I die I want no tears
I'll be in heaven because throughout the years
My goal in life remained the same
Through my example to Christ people came
I wish you well for your weary travel
But with with journey may the truth unravel
The need to care and the need to heart
The very thing that keeps you and God apart
