Of The Bible
Narrow is the path to life,
and wide is the one to destruction,
but how to find the way to light
without the proper instruction?
With opposition surrounding me,
holding me in exactly the same spot,
stabbing me with the point of persuasion,
forcing me to do things I’d rather not,
I’m not sure where to turn,
I’m not sure where to look,
Oh someone please grasp my hand
and take back what they took.
My faith is obscured beneath a black blanket
of everything I’ve wanted to avoid,
I’ll need some help to pull it off
and help rebuild what is destroyed.
