However Amateur

 However Amateur

However amateur, I sound

There's something real and true I've found

He speaks to me in what I pen

And when I read, He speaks again.

He turns my heart in many ways

And so, I've come for many days

In early morn before the dawn

His word, to chew and ponder on.

The scripture readings of the day

Will always have something to say

They teach and touch the parts within

Exposing pride, and greed, and sin.

They call for change that I must heed

They clearly show where strength I need

They show how weak I truly am

If I, but conscience, would exam.

They call for greater love each day

To sacrifice, and turn away

From all that draws me dark and low

To find the narrow way to go.
