As a child i loved and adored you
i listened to your teachings
i longed for the day i could be with you
and listen as others were preaching
they told me you were a good god
that you knew everyone of your children
and i believed every word i was told and i diligently sought
and in hard times I'd pray and believed you would listen
but as i grew older their words stayed the same
they told me you were their so i searched for you in vain
the prayers and teachings were no different i was playing the same old game
trying to find you through all the hurt and the pain
so in my own way i lost faith in you, you were no longer real to me
just another made up superhero that i knew could never save me
i fell away from the church and hurt many loved ones along the way
they all begged me to be patient and the answer was to pray
but i could not believe that for in my heart you had let me down
i was told in hard times to turn to you for you would come around
but in the times i was in the dirt broken ,bruised and cut
you watched me fall some more instead of helping and picking me up
i thought that nothing would change
and maybe i was right
at least that thats what i said
but then i saw the light
i started going to church again and listened to what they preached
i never felt this way before i discovered a loss of speech
one day i ended up on my knees worshiping you in song and prayer
and for the very first time i could feel you standing over me and i could feel your presence there
Jesus I'm in love with you
i will do anything you ask
I'm on fire with your love
i will finish any task
you gave me life and purpose
you put me here on earth
i will speak of you forever
Jesus i will seek you forever while upon this earth
