JESUS

     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.
