"THE BASICS OF LIFE"
THAT STATEMENT'S SO FADED, DOES IT EVEN EXISTS?LIFE'S MOVING SO QUICKLY, SO MUCH TO RESISTS!
NOTHING IS SIMPLE, SMALL TASKS BECOME LARGE,
MONEY IS SCARACE, PLASTIC CARDS TAKE THEIR CHARGE!
SO MANY GET STRESSED, LIFE'S PASSING THEM BY,
SOME FIGHT THEIR STRUGGLES,,,,,,,BUT MOST WILL JUST CRY.
ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH, GETTING SMALLER EACH YEAR,
HAVE THEY ALL JUST FORGOTTEN,,THAT "JESUS" IS NEAR???
THEY FOCUS ON PROBLEMS, AND THINGS THAT'S GONE WRONG,
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE GOOD! THEY'VE ACCHIEVED IN THIS LONG!
SO EASY TO DWELL ON THE TIMES THAT ARE BAD,,,
LOOK FORWARD! NOT BACKWARDS!, OF TIMES YOU HAVE HAD!
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PROBLEMS, DON'T LET THEM TAKE YOU!
SHORT PRAYER FOR EACH DAY THAT YOU'VE MADE IT THROUGH!
THERE'S NOTHING TO PROVE, JUST SLOW DOWN YOUR PACE!
YOU FEEL YOU'RE COMPETING, LIFE IS'NT A RACE!
TRY FINDING "THE BASICS", HOW LIFE USED TO BE,
"LET GO AND LET GOD"! HE'LL HELP YOU, YOU'LL SEE!
HE'LL ALWAYS FORGIVE YOU, HE WAITS FOR YOUR PRAYER,
WHEN OTHERS WILL LEAVE YOU,,,,,,,,,HE'LL ALWAYS BE THERE!
JUST LETTING YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL FOR THE BEST,
YOU'VE TAKEN YOUR TOLE! LET YOUR SOUL GET SOME REST!
JUST REMEMBER ON SUNDAYS, WATCHING GAMES AND THEIR SCORE?
YOUR PASTOR IS PRAYING, YOU'LL WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR.
IS IT REALLY SO HARD TO TAKE TIME FOR YOUR PRAYERS?
HAS IT EVER CROSSED MIND,,IF YOU'LL WALK UP THOSE STAIRS??
LIFE'S GETTING HARDER, ONLY "GOD" KNOWS YOUR GUIDE,
FORGET KEEPING UP!,SHUT DOWN ALL THAT PRIDE!
YOU'LL FIND IN THE LONG RUN, OF THOSE YOU DESIRE?
THEY CARE LESS ABOUT YOU, OR IF YOU'LL BURN IN HELL'S FIRE!!
I PRAY, "THE BASICS OF LIFE", WILL COME BACK TO YOU SOON,
FOR IT'S "GOD'S" FRONT PORCH LIGHT,,WHEN YOU SEE A FULL MOON!!!!
