You try to convert me
I try to convert you
You tell me I need God
I say no
I'm good on my own
Yet you bang on my door
throw your Bible in my face
with your quotes
and your 'superiority'
You think you're so great
because you need God
I need no one and I'm weak?
Your anger gets the best of you
I'm in the way
I believe what I believe
I don't force you to believe
or, in this case, not believe
you force!
I DON'T NEED YOUR GOD!
One night
when I was alone
I remembered what you said
I thought about Him
and even through you annoy
your devotion amazes me
I kneel next to my bed
I ask for a revelation
I hear nothing
I see nothing
So I conclude there is nothing...
yet… why are you so devoted?
Don't you know?
The next day I return
I hear your preaching
your lies that you call truth
I accuse you of your lies
you said if I asked I would see
you shrugged
you just said He's there
maybe you should have said
God doesn't act with lightening
that if you sincerely seeking
He will reveal Himself
perhaps in a friend
or a song
or on a gravestone
the Lord works in strange ways
So I didn't see the Lord right away
but that doesn't mean He isn't
I saw His light
His love
His Truth
But a message to you
you beat me over the head
that turned me off
you say you worship Jesus
yet you don't act like it
you need to act in love
Jesus was mocked
beaten
MURDERED!
yet He still loved
I may not listen
I may make fun
I may make it hard
you may want to give up
please don't
act in love
because you represent God for me
your actions help me see God
He may do the work
but He enlists your help
Don't give up on me.
