When I was pretty very young
I used to think there was a distance very long
Between me and that being called God
Although I thought about Him and read His word.
People told me, 'God is in heaven'
And truth, I never saw Him 24/7
Everything was here...material
And He was 'something' afar.
Friends, family, neighbors were all I got
And my mom, she was a rock I could not...
He was like He wasn't
God Almighty.
Until friends became foes
Love became foul
Brothers clenching fists
And mother's help couldn't suffice
I then became aware of His presence
The one I thought was afar
A voice quiet, sure and true
Whose words surges me through
Alas, he has been the one I got
When life is cold and when it gets hot
Nobody can be this close
They can only put on a pose.
You are God Almighty, a Friend, a Shepherd
When I roll with the lions and leopards
Helplessly, wholly trusting in you
My rock and fortress, my might and do.
