the simple faith
The Simple Faith.
At school, we had bible classes
but our religious learning was based
on the New Testament
The Old Testament was kept away from
us as it was vile and long knives
God was not so much in the picture
other he was Jesus's father
that he was a son of the virgin Mary was
not what we were asked to think of
consequently, we knew nothing other
then the name of Jesus' disciples
the cruel Romans and coward Judas
I often thought of god, still do, and
found not believing in anything was
wrong as nothing in itself is a belief
My naïve faith was simple when I do
It is a good thing my conscience feels
clear it is good who lives within me
who tells me right from wrong
his view has never brought me fame
very little money I can live that but
sometimes wish the lord had made
me clever in business affairs
When I die, my soul will join other
souls as a mass, like a friendly cloud
shield you a hot August day and will
when the world is about to fall into
an abyss will help to restore the truth
