To God
God
I never wrote you
A poem before
Maybe it`s because
I don`t think
I`d knock on heaven`s door
I couldn`t confess
A single sin
Even when they told me
Your grace I would win
The book of life says at your sight
Every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess
But Lord you were not the first
Not even the last person I thought about
When consumed by stress
I couldn`t pray to you
Because every time I tried
There was doubt on my mind
I sometimes try peering through
The bible because the priest told me
That, in there all the answers I will find
But God
Right now, at this point in my life
The only answer I seek is
One from your own lips
I wish to converse with you
Man to God
God to Man
I wish to feel your heavenly touch
And see your face
But a million times as much
I fear you!
