I Found The Lord Poem by Gabriel Mapati

Locked inside my own body.
I never thought life would treat me this way.
With my friends I live life worthlessly and recklessly.
A girlfriend I have, yet I'm still lonely.
My family only seem to care about money.
Nothing in the world cares about me.
I'm just locked inside my own body.

But wait a second.
People don't matter, people are just passing phases.
Only one person matters.
Jesus Christ my Lord.

I've found someone who actually cares for me.
Now if you thought I would come grovelling at your feet,
You got another thing coming.
He promised to be my friend eternally.
Now to me that sounds like a great deal.
So I'm now breaking your deal.
Yours where I had to constantly look over my shoulder.
Looking over to prevent your back stabbing.
So I don't need your friendship anymore, it's not good for me.
I found way better.

See, I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is I don't need you.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying I hate you.
If it's anything, I love you.
You are the best family I ever had. Why?
You were the darkness that showed me the light, and for that I love you.
You were a great help in showing me the Lord.

I have found someone better,
Someone who offers me eternal life and peace.
Now, even you can't contend with that.
A good girlfriend you were.
But he offers much better love than you ever did.
He is not a liar like you because he is not man.

I don't think you understand the magnitude of my Lord.
He is King and is no mere mortal like you.
So I'm sure even you can tell what a great deal he offers me.
You offered to be with me for less than a hundred years?
Well, he offered to be with me for all eternity.
Why? Cause he is Lord.

See, for a long time I lived on my knees.
You made it seem as if I had to work for me to be loved.
Guess I was just blind.

I was blinded by a lot of things.
Blinded by you.
Blinded by my friends.
Blinded by my family.
Blinded by the craziness of this world.
But finally I've found The Lord.
So thank you but your phase in my life has passed.
