Deep Thought: If You Ignore Him

IF YOU IGNORE HIM

Once again I lay here in my fox hole, it's do or die;

I'm pleading for the Lord to help me, I'm way too high!

God can you save me, "I won't do it again", I confess;

I won't do this anymore, I'm tired of being a mess...

But the Preacher said, "Your always listening";

With red eyes I plead, all puckered and glistening.

Yet, you brought me back, just to do it again;

My urge to use, is such a toxic sin!

And that time I begged for a pick-up truck;

The Lord didn't hear me...just my luck.

What do I have to do, I'm a man with needs;

You never give me fruit, all I get are seeds?

So, what is it Lord, you think I'm not sincere;

As I lay here squandering with my meth, whisky, and beer?

Guess you can tell the difference from a plea or giving in;

I must confess, I'm a mess, living life all full of sin!

So, I'm turning my life to you God, I've gotten up off the floor;

I'm pleading for salvation, just please let me in the door.

It's real this time, I've turned my life around;

I'm standing tall, fully focused, feet are on the ground.

And there it was, my pick-up, earned it on my own;

God finally believed my call and did it all, I was not all alone.

So, when you ask for help, make the commitment, you can do this, too;

But just remember if you ignore God, he'll probably ignore you, too!
