greater than myself

naysayers say it can’t be done

i disagree

slay those dragons

fight those demons

put on the armor of the man, jesus

just to say

he’s my stay

without him i’m lost, tossed upon billowing seas

he’s my stand

so very grand

not your everyday christian

preferring ‘Jesus freak’

without him I’m loose sand

just a crazy old man who takes no stand

falling through thin cracks

into oblivion

with him my days are filled with a life felt and filled with emotion

representation of a life saved by one greater than myself
