jessicagourley - A new way of thinking

My views have changed

They're not the same.

This program I'm in has taken my mind,

And flipped it upside-down.

God used to be the man I prayed to,

Prayed to when I wanted something,

Needed something to happen.

Dear God is how it started,

Never thanking Him, just getting to the point.

Give me this, I need that, I'll do this if I get what I want.

Amen.

A twisted view, a bad way of thinking, I know.

But now? You ask, God is my father, He's the one I run to.

When I cried out about my friends suicide,

When all I needed was for my daddy to hold me tight,

To be by my side,

He was there.

My God, my Father, He held me in His arms.

I thank Him, I honor Him, I love Him for all that He has done.

Then theres this Jesus guy.

He died so that I may live.

Who else can you honestly say would die for you?

I never really believed it, I didn't understand.

Its so cool to think,

That this man gave His life for me.

But what?? He wants to be my friend.

My friend till the end.

We talk all day long, for with Him, I'll never be alone.

Hold up, just for a minute.

I could never get a grasp on this thing,

This Holy Spirit they talk about.

It didnt make sence.

A spirit? A ghost?

Who really believes that stuff anyways?

Holy Spirit come, I finally understand!!

Its like the rushing wind in the heart of winter.

He takes me over,

When I ask him to come.

Holy Spirit lead me,

He fills me, I can feel Him in my soul.

The Spirit moves through the room,

He leaves me breathless and I breath in peace.

Holy Spirit move me.
