I've Always Been A Believer


I've always been a believer..

I used to believe I needed to be inhebriated

to appreciate the things that he's created.  

I used to believe that drugs would help me see clearly,
yet they nearly killed me,
so clearly my judgement was growing weary. 
 
I used to believe that Jesus was a work of fiction,
that if he ever lived he died of rightful conviction.
 
I used to believe, like science,
that evolution was the answer, 
 
now I only see evolution as a cancer.
 
Now I believe in a god with so much love for us,
that he gave his only son for us. 
 
Now I believe that drugs only cloud the mind
of the light he desires to shine deep inside. 
 
Now I believe it undeniable that god does exist,
and shall fight for that truth as long as I shall live. 
 
Now I believe on the inside is a bunch of broken pieces,
and I know the only one who can make it whole,
is Jesus. 
 
I've always been a believer..
