Man Of God

Sometimes I'm a liar,
Sometimes I'm a fake.
Sometimes I'm a hypocrite
Everybody hates.

Sometimes I'm a poet,
Sometimes I'm a preacher
Sometimes I watch life go by
sittin' on the bleachers.

But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
Even though I'm to blame
There were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
But someone fixed my aim
Sometimes I'm a man of God
Sometimes I'm alright
Sometimes I lay down,
close my eyes and pray to God

Sometimes I don't feel good
It's hard to start the day
It's hard to climb the obstacles
that sometimes come my way

If I make it, I'm a good man,
Am I a bad man if I fail?
I know I'm never good enough
so I let grace prevail

I'm ready for the night
Right now I'm alright
Right now I'm alright
Sometimes I'm alright
I'm alright
I'm alright
Thank God
Thank God

Sometimes I'm a man of God
Sometimes I'm alright
Sometimes I lay down,
close my eyes and pray to God

Sometimes I'm a man of God
Sometimes I'm alright
Sometimes I lay down,
close my eyes and pray to God
I'm ready for the night.

This is a song from another of my favourite bands, the soon to be gone Audio Adrenaline. This speaks to me because It reminds me that no matter what is happening in my life God is still there with me and he'll help me. He's there to help us be more like him. We need to remember him and 'lay down, close [our] eyes and pray to God' so that he can help us and further develop our relationship with him.
God bless you.
