I was talking to the Lord
Just He and I alone
Not feeling good about myself
I felt I needed to atone
Oh, it wasn’t something serious
And yet I really felt that I
Should talk about it honestly
And I knew exactly why
I said, Oh Lord I try to be
The best person I can be
But sometimes I know that you
You would not be proud of me
I talk about other people
That is not in a friendly way
Gossip I guess you’d call it
Instead of nice things I could say
I’m not as understanding
With other people’s plight
I talk about them harshly
When they are out of sight
I don’t put myself in other’s shoes
The way I really should
I could be much more understanding
The way I know I could
And you know, I felt much better
I knew God could hear my voice
I wanted to change some little things
Because we do have a choice
So if you have a moment
When you don’t like who you are
God is always there to listen
He truly isn’t very far!
