Deliverance

I have been betrayed by many
Vile words have been spoken about me
I lose them all with that fermented nectar
And for a moment I feel better
A drunken fool is all you see
Only because I'm never happy
I want my life to be perfect
I ask for just a little respect
How can I get that on a buzz?
I hurt people just because
Laying in a random bed, poisoned again
I hear my voice, pure and plain
I realize i have said this all aloud
My first prayer, angels all around
Eyes closed, a voice comes in clearly
"All men will hate you for me
By standing firm you will gain life."
I know the only way out of my strife
Is to rest in the hands of God
For he will deliver me from the sod

Eating Your Seed

With little in my pockets
And faith wearing thin
I let my mind wander and forget
My life really is perfect
Even though I'm "hungry and poor"
My money could feed a family of four
I have enough for what i want
But nothing for what I need
The money i make is such a taunt
I get my fruit and eat the seed
Ten percent is all he asks for
You get ninety, you need more?
While in this recession
You start to learn your lesson
The less i have for myself
The more I have with Christ

By My Side (This ones for my girl)

Sometimes it may seem tough
Thant road we're on can be rough
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
It goes by smoother with you by my side
I know there is no such thing as perfect
But when it comes to you, the adage is incorrect
Lost in your eyes, where I abide
Its nice to hold you by my side
You make me want to be a better man
The change to be who i truly am
Never will I start to slide
Knowing you will stay at my side
From my head down to my feet
You make my life complete
As well as the stars in the sky
I always want you by my side
