The Wordsmith

"The Wordsmith" by: Eric L. Boddie You only Live once, so do what you choose He Gave us Free Will....so it's your Life to lose How is your relationship with God? And I may not be a Saint, but God Knows I Try Because He Always Knows The Truth whereas man will tempt you with a lie How is your relationship with God? To those of you whose task Is to promote negativity, I ask How is your relationship with God? To those of you who will smile in my face And talk about me in another place How is your relationship with God? To those of you who go to church on Sunday And raise hell way before Monday How is your relationship with God? To those of you who never have a good word to say Who don't realize that the devil is having his way How is your relationship with God? To those of you who try to point out my flaws Who act as if they have never broken His Laws How is your relationship with God? To those of you who think they are better Than any other because it was God Who Put us all together How is your relationship with God? To those of you who think they can Judge When That Is Reserved For The One Who Saves Souls With His Blood How is your relationship with God? He's Coming Back people....it might just be tonight How much time is left......right! How....is your relationship with God? Please....Pray for me....as I Pray for you....

I love this Eric! Many people think they are religious when what they really need is a relationship. This sums up well the ones who really know God and the ones who know religion. Religion judges has more rules than the Pharisees could think up and relationship is love and walking and talking with the one above.

...and pray for me too! Although I think I'm in pretty good shape. A super poem Eric with the significant question asked over and over again for those of us who need to be beaten over the head with a brick. Seriously though, I hope this gets through to those who '...go to Church on Sunday and raise hell way before Monday, although I ain't so sure. These are the ones we should be praying for! Great job!!
