Part of the reason I pass on my writings
So I can share with you my good tidings
The point that I make may be vague indeed
But it is a message I know you may need

Before I was lost in a sea of myself
Planning a life where I knew I would just die
Looking ahead seeking comfort and wealth
Seeking the good life wanting my piece of the pie

Bigger and bigger my pie was getting
It almost consumed me this thing that I needed
Worse and worse my heart was feeling
I was running the rat race,  I was so conceited

I wanted life's great treasures, I wanted to be in control
Of my destiny of myself and my world around me
I didn't realize the emptiness deep in my soul
I just knew that my world revolved around only me

I ruled my castle with a fist of fire
My way or the highway was my thinking you see
I was lost in my thoughts and my selfish desires
I knew what I wanted and that was the way it will be

Thank God for his patience in me he did see
A lost man with choices he new he could turn
My heart has been changed I no longer will be
Guiding myself no,  it's God's word I will learn

I'll put into practice each and every day
Seeking his guidance in everything that I do
He'll give me the answers if I dutifully pray
I will question him "How Lord?" he'll show me what to do
