For years I’ve searched     
                        For perfect ways                         
             To reach Your throne of grace
                   I’ve strived and strained        
             Read loads of books
             So I would see Your face
             The bibles, I have plenty
             All kinds of different versions
             But everything is easier
             Than long, drawn out, excursions.

             My prayer life, just like a list
             Expounded every morning
             You knew the way that they would go
             You must have found them boring
             My formula was oh so good
             I thought they reached the  parts
             Just like the beer, they brought You cheer
             Like fiery little darts.

             But now I have the notion
             That I must try much harder
             Cast off my jacket that is straight
             Start filling up the larder
             Bible study is a must
             So You I get to know
             I need a deep relationship
             So that our love will grow.
