Living For Him

Being a Christian isn’t as easy as everyone thinks
Living right and living for the Lord
Has its reward
But it takes patience and the want to do for others
Yes I am afraid it takes more than picking up a bible
And going to church when you’re able
We have to praise him and please him
He is a loving God and gives us what we need 
Instead of what we want
But when you live a life for him 
And allow him to come in to your life
To be born again well that is just the most amazing feeling
That one can feel
The devil is going to temp you
And make you question your faith
But if you just trust in the Lord
It will all work out
And you will be blessed with more than you could ever afford

Knowledge

I woke up this morning with a thirst that no water could cure
The want and need to be pure
It was a thirst for knowledge but not of books
The knowledge and education I wanted was for the Lord
I know this is something I have to do on his accord
He seemed to be a stranger someone I did not know
But with everyday my love continues to grow
Though I have not considered myself a true Christian
I like to think I have been doing the lords work and mission
I have learned a lot about him and his intent in the last year or two
He has helped me put down the bottle and forget the bars
He has slowly helped me cure my anger and scars
Though I don’t give him the thanks and praise he deserves everyday
I make mistakes yet I like to think I am on my way
To a better life one I can live for him
A life free from worry and sin
I feel like I have a weight and a worry
That I can’t live this life the way I should
Every time I think about church there is no hurry
Though I know the end is near
I feel like I can wait with no fear
This voice inside my head and my heart
Keeps telling me he is knocking and it is time to do my part
Don’t wait another day get down on your knees and pray
This world won’t last forever
And if you don’t there will be no happy ever after
