poem

i was pretty much headed down
and going straight to hell,
when Jesus came into my life
and now i'm getting well

the shame of sin had about engulfed me...
been so since i was young'
i had always thought that i knew better
than others.  i was wrong.

i felt alone on all the earth
and did not seem getting better,
until i bent my knees in prayer
and followed to the letter

the path that He laid out for me,
one both pure and simple;
and now i am sure of my reward
full and plain and ample

oh  it's not easy to get up in the morning
when you're old and full of pain;
but i still rise fairly early
to greet my Lord again.

o, you've got to get up in the morning
wash your face and make your bed
to face the day that's a borning
and get your scriptures read.

coffee is best when it's freshly brewed
at least that's what i've been told
the antioxidants are strongest
before it gets too cold
