I spent five years at a fellowship where the minister

had an affair with the wife of one of the members there. Married

with three kids. Now, the secret is out and he’s left with

nothing except conviction of what he did. Must be mid-

fifties, but I won’t check the date. Heard he’s covered in

extra weight. Grubbing from a collection plate. Best to

make peace and leave it alone. I’ve learned evil you fight

can eat you alive and defeat you like Phoenix Jones. Leaving

the congregation before it all went down, I recall

the look on their faces when I saw ‘em around. Small

town gospel gossip. Nothing like free will to reveal

the real message in the exile of Ezekiel.

Blasphemy. That’s the shade of judgment cast.

Heaving stones when they’re made of glass passed the knee.

Ask me these days, waiting for happiness after death makes

less sense than running faster to catch your breath.

Holding me back. Getting to know you.

What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.

What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.

If your word is all true, you’re the one I wanna walk close to.

Holding me back. Getting to know you.

What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.

What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.

If your word is all true, you’re the one I wanna walk close to.

I’ve seen demons flea from the body. Believe it or not,

I’ve watched the meanest sons of bitches switch up to be something Godly.

Oddly enough, the Bible’s got a good way of making

somebody wanna drop the bottle and throw toxin away.

It’s proper to say, only the most provocative thing

can lead you out the drug scene to clean up your

blood stream. Mud sling at the name of the one Lord, but He

never want’s war. Not what He made us for.

Much more that peace hand signs. Who else can lead man-

kind through all these land mines to an answer we can’t find?

Leanne Rhymes? Search this entire

earth’s surface. No person is worthy of reversing this

curse without serving a higher purpose, first. It’s the

perverts and murderers who mis-interpret the word, but

I can discern the serpent’s work. And if the worst can

learn to accept mercy they don’t deserve..,

Holding me back. Getting to know you.

What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.

What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.

If your word is all true, you’re the one I wanna walk close to.

Holding me back. Getting to know you.
