The night was still, the air was drear\.

A man walked alone; his direction unclear\.

A battle raged within his troubled soul\.

He was at the crossroads, all his life as a whole\.

He believed in God, or at least so he thought\.

He obeyed what he knew—all that he’d been taught\.

But something’s not right, there’s something I lack\.

I’ve lived like most others, as my life plays back\.

But I go to church\! I sing and I pray\!

I even helped the neighbor, just the other day\!

He fought with his mind, justifying the wrong\.

It was God that was working, He seemed quite strong\.

*The fact of the matter, it’s confidence I lack\.*

*I believe in myself, not the God from way back\.*

God wants to show strong, in my life every day\.

He wants me to be proved; He’s the Life and the Way\.

There’s no better One, in Whom to put all your trust;

Than the almighty God\. For all men it’s a must\!
