Today we sat close, my new friend and I
Both wondering, talking, trying to decide
How to explain, what God meant to us
Not even quite sure, whom we could trust
He leaned in and whispers, I know he’s inside
Both you and I, and all of mankind
I nodded and smiled, I knew he was right
I knew that the answer, was close to our sight
We sat there in silence, as time continued to pass
So close to the answer we wanted to grasp
I took a deep breath, close to despair,
The answer so close, gone in thin air
I looked all around and then up in the room
There sat a man on a cross, my head filled with doom
But his eyes were not sad, instead quite the other
They will full of compassion he felt for his brother
I turned to my friend, now understanding
It’s not about color, creed, or demanding
Our Lord came to us, in body and flesh
To show us the way that most of us missed
He came here and died, not just for believers
But for all of the fallen, lost and true seekers
Open your mind, and open your heart
Look for forgiveness at the very start
Forgiveness for yourself, you may not feel earned
And seek it with sorrow, regret, and what’s learned
Feel your heart grow, now complete and whole
his death on a cross, he died for your soul
No longer filled with sadness or dread
I looked at my friend, with tears and I said
Christ still loves me; for all that I’ve done,
Despite what I’ve said, or the people I’ve shunned
It’s never too late, to always remember
Christ is with you, if you only surrender
Give up the vices, the hate and the pride
Give up the anger, resentment inside
Suddenly my heart lifts, as I finally know
Together in life, Ill continue to grow
In spirit in body, I finally feel free
From demons and monsters, feeding off me
With God in my Spirit
With Christ in my heart,
I’m never alone
We’re never apart.
