TROUBLED SOUL
I sit in church all of my life
So do my kids and so does my wife
From lofty pulpits we hear them preach
But we never learn, ‘cause they never teach
There’s got to be something more to know
Seems lots of folks just go for the show
But I’m hungry for answers in my life
So are my kids and so is my wife
I cry out in anguish because of my fears
It gets so bad that I’m driven to tears
Is there really a God out there?
One who loves – does He care?
Where are the answers we so want?
We’re almost ready to embark on a hunt
We say our prayers and hope for the best
But our souls are stirred; we get little rest
We’re not willing to bounce around
Going to every church in town
Do you know someone who could help us out
Who knows what God is all about?
People have great need in their lives
So do their kids and so do their wives
When a believer speaks Christ’s redemption
Folks would come to know God’s intention
A loving believer to hold forth God’s Word
Teaching eternal life is assured
How better to help this man in this life?
How ‘bout his kids? How ‘bout his wife?
When they speak in tongues, they will know
Their believing wasn’t just a show
They will know they are born again,
Cleansed within of all sin.

God bless you, Brother.avid, Thank you for your kind words. I wish you would put it to music. I'm not that cleaver. I write a lot of poetry in the style of Edgar Guest, or at least I try to. Just remember me when the royalties flow in! God bless you, Brother. JC born 12/25
