Our soul is like suet, all stodgy and thick
Unyielding, it doesn't like change
It loves to remain in it's normal domain
Comfortable in it's own range

What's the colour of your faith
Is it ever changing
Try to fit in with the world
Which means some rearranging
Fanatical when you're in church

Sitting at the feet of Jesus
Resting in His perfect will
Drawing on His strength and purpose
Waiting, so calm and still
We need to drop the heavy burden

It's time to pause upon my journey
Sit down, ponder where I'm at
I have got into a tizzy
Mulling over this and that
I can let my feelings run me

Some folk seem to think they know
The only way to God
They do all sorts of wondrous things
Then find it rather odd
That there is no relationship

Do you want to be happy
At ease with your lot
A life of contentment
With all that you've got
Ignoring your feelings
That rain like a storm

God created everything
That lives and breathes on earth
And we are all designed by Him
To share His loving worth
But some of us have turned our backs

I read a book that says that love
Is what I need so bad
I cannot manufacture it
To try would be so sad
But there is someone who can help
To alter my demeanor

It isn't easy to explain
How you manage in the rain
Everything is soaking wet
Sogginess is all, and yet
There blows a wind, a drying breeze

You have the chance to choose your fate
The road you're going to take
You know the outcome of the two
If you make a mistake
One will be contentment

It is by virtue of the past
That we are prone to sin
And it's not very difficult
To let the blighter's in
Everything we try to do
To live a perfect life

Lord, why did You die for me
When You knew I would let You down
Lord, You went through that agony
So I would wear a crown
If only I would seek Your face

I wonder why it's taken me
So long to see the truth
That while The Lord's been pruning me
I've acted all aloof
Now it's time for surgery
A great big manky root

How much more do you expect
From One who gave His all
Waiting for the next event
So you can have a ball
Do you praise Him for the things
That you've already got

Years ago, if I had a need
Then I would put it first
And everything was secondary
Until I quenched my thirst
