I LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF THE PREACHER
    BUT I ONLY HEAR MY SINS
          CRYING, LAUGHING, PLACING ME ELSEWHERE.

I WONDER WHERE I WILL END UP?
     KNOWING GOD ONLY KNOWS
          I HAVE TO CHANGE, I HAVE TO STOP IT...
                                         END IT.

"The Lord confides in those who fear Him; He makes His covenant known to them." ~Ps. 25:14~

I SIT UPON A ROCK OF LIES
     AS I WATCH THE SUN SET DOWN
          I NEVER WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN,
                   NOT EVEN ONCE...

IT DID AND I THOUGHT IT WAS LOVE
     TRUE LOVE, NOW I KNOW DIFFERENT
            I SEE AND FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
                     THAT WHICH BEFORE NOW...I WAS BLIND TO.

IT'S SUNDAY AGAIN...I LISTEN TO THE PREACHER
     HIS WORDS FALL UPON MY EARS LIKE A DRUM
               BEATING LOUDLY
                           TARING OUT MY HEART.

THE MUSICAL NOTES FROM THE CHOIR
              GENTLE, CALMING WORDS OF PEACE
                            IN A SONG

THEIR VOICES BLEND TOGETHER, SOOTHING MY PAIN
     SETTING MY EMOTIONS FREE
                   TEARS FALL LIKE RAIN FROM MY EYES

TEARS THAT ROLL AND DROP
     ON TO THE OPEN PAGES OF MY HYMNAL
                SLIGHTLY BLURRING THE CONTENT

"Let's All Pray Together on Our Knees"

I'M NOT SINGING
     FOR MY SOUL IS IN DISCONTENT
                  THE DEVIL'S IN MY MIND AND HE WANT TO GO

MY HEART, ON THE OTHER SIDE, WANTS TO STAY
     IT IS SAYING, STAY...LISTEN...LET HIM GO~
