The Heart Of Me

Lee Smith 1954 (Bedford)



Mind over matter is what they say
That doesn't really help nowadays
Evil and panic saturates the souls
Has humanity lost all control?

Looking for something to feel happiness
Drugs, alcohol,  it's such a mess
Love is the only permanent solution
Instead of all this sexual confusion

Satan's gotten his hold on you
I'll tell you what you need to do
It's been stated in black, white and red
Jesus saves you from being eternally dead

He asks a lot from those who follow
Cus there may not be a tomorrow
I really hope my love for you shows
I want to spare you from all the pain

About this poem

I'm just sitting here....searching my mind for ideas and listening for God to say something.
