describing the struggle of a believer (me) who struggles with God's purposes and wrestles with obeying God (modern day Jonah)
Bible-based rhyming, with a style from back in the day. In a class by itself
...because this life is a journey
Story behind the song
my personal struggle of pride and seeing myself through God's word. feeling the inadequacies of telling people of God's love. ultimately allowing too much time to pass between my communion with God.
Lyrics
what i never new about, now i see
there's no other way Lord
when i die to self, then You'll open up the door
Lord please, have your way
I step back so You can, reign
here comes the King evrybody, here comes the King
so get ready...
i heard a wise man say
wisdom aint a matter o' knowledge, it takes real skill
to exercise insight into human nature
sharpens your perceptiveness
now i seek after and implore the Lord
every wakin moment i need Him more
to get me through a new day how's it done
if try this and try that, then i'd be done
man these folks can't see where i be at
my walk is only to live for Christ
to make the Gospel plain and precise
pointing all mankind ta life!!!!!!
Have you ever been rejected
ever felt alone
ever been stressed
or ever missed home?
have you ever felt guilty
ever been ashamed
or ever been blamed?
have you lied or
robbed someone else
ever got high
or ever gone for self?
Jesus, He suffered and died
cause o' sin all sin, that junk we still love
and my flesh still wants that mess
but i'm learning how to walk in His rest
and find peace on the daily
most assuredly, as He would LEAD......
it's been a long time...
since we've taken time to talk
it's been a long time...
Lord i need you, Lord I miss you
it's been a long time...
i rememeber your grace
it's been a long time
Lord restore my place in You...
