SHELF

[verseode]

               

            Do you aspire to be the one
            Who can't get off your shelf
            Have you reached your sell by date
            Content to be yourself
            Do you feel there's something more
            To this great Christian walk
            But have no close relationship
            Cause all you do is talk.
            

            You reach for books by famous folk
            Who tell you how to be
            The shining, saintly, wondrous one
            That God invites for tea
            Several chapters mapping out
            The steps you need to take
            It never seems to work for you
            There must be some mistake.

            Relationship is building blocks
            You have to spend the time
            Getting closer to your friend
            The mountains you must climb
            Against the tide the devil sends
            To wash you back to shore
            You have to persevere, my friend
            To reach The great amour.
