I have this question
Bordering obsession
A question of why
I know you cannot lie
Why do I deserve your love
Am I not something to be ashamed of
I haven’t said a prayer
So why do you still care
Why do I fall back to you
Though you stay true
I haven’t been as faithful
But yet you stay graceful
Waiting for my return
Ready for me to mourn

And mourn I shall
Cause you raised my morale
I look to the sky
And as I cry
I think of your creation
Of this wonderful formation
I raise my head
But not with dread
Rather with pride
Because you are my guide
You are my light through the darkness
Making all my troubles harmless
A heart once puzzled
Has now been humbled

My mind finally calm
At the sound of a psalm
I’m no longer vexed
As I read your text
Rather filled with joy
No longer the devils toy
But rather God’s child
You see why I’m riled
I’m finally free
Of the devils decree
Of his terrible palace
Laced with malice
I’ve ascended my pain
Allowed peace in my vein

And all I can say is thank you
Because of you I grew
Thank you Lord
For being my sword
Thank you Master
For removing my disaster
Thank you God
For being my rod
You are the reason I thrive
Because of you I strive
I won’t taint your sacrifice
Rather I shall arise
No longer a wreck
But as God’s elect
