Early this morning I was oh so sick,

I’ve never puked & pooped so much,

I honestly felt death at my door,

I’m glad I locked it with a little click…

I begged God to stop my projectile up throw,

And if he would just do that for me,

I would promise to try & know him better,

Well a promise is a promise, so try I will in Christ to grow…

I’ve been really quite bad, though I have changed,

I really cannot see that He would forgive me my faults,

He & I have for the longest time be estranged,

All through my life away from him I have ranged…

So, it won’t be easy, for Him or for me,

But closer to Him I will try to ultimately be,

I may not attend any specific church,

And it may take me quite awhile,

But I did make this promise,

And I will resolutely walk with Him in my heart many a future mile…
