I woke up this morning with a thirst that no water could cure
The want and need to be pure
It was a thrust 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 for a long time
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

Hands starting to sweat.
Next thing you know, your palms are wet.
It gets harder to swallow and your mouth is so dry.
You are mad and feel like you could cry.
Doesn't she realize how this makes you feel?
While you stare at him with a look that could kill,
She smiles and looks to him like he could do no wrong.
I don't think he is so funny.
She still loves you and calls you honey.
That's what you tell yourself as your blood starts to boil.
It feels like your heart is beginning to spoil.
Is it getting hotter in here?
That's what you have to ask someone as you take another sip of beer.
She must know how bad it makes you hurt,
Sitting here watching her flirt.
Maybe it is just you, maybe it not that bad.
Why is she doing that? your friend just has to add,
It is as bad as you thought.
This is a lesson no one should be taught,
So you call her over and say come sit with me.
Tell her, "I love you, sweet pea."
Give her a kiss and shoot him a smile
And thank God that only lasted for a little while.
