He Is All I Need


God is not all I need

I would be lying if I said that

He is all I need


 

God,

He is

A fictional superhero

Not

The creator of my life


 

The last thing I want to do is turn to God

Because I would be lying if I said

God is strength, comfort, and love

 

Who else realizes that

You are always by yourself in this world

Never is it the case that

You are surrounded by people who care

 

I am an unforgivable person

It would be wrong to say

I am a loved child of God

I know this to be true

 

Unless I choose to reverse it

 

I know this to be true

I am a loved child of God

It would be wrong to say

I am an unforgivable person

 

You are surrounded by people who care

Never is it the case that

You are always by yourself in this world

Who else realizes that

 

God is strength, comfort, and love

Because I would be lying if I said

The last thing I want to do is turn to God


 

The creator of my life

Not

A fictional superhero

He is

God

 

He is all I need

I would be lying if I said that

God is not all I need
