Take it as Gospel

Jesus was the saviour of my soul

before I understood what religion meant.

I read his message on a church billboard

and got lost in thought about the time I'd spent.

It didn't convince me to go to church

or to use the Bible as my guide,

but it reminded me of the love I have

and to extend this warmth I hold inside.

It assured me that despite my wrongs

I have done no more sin than any other man would.

Through every wrong turn I have done another,

I have provided many others with so much good.

Now I'm determined to focus on positivity

and ensuring that my rights outweigh my wrongs.

I won't be reciting every hymn off by heart

but I will resemble my actions to their songs.
