IS

[Anglican]

Is my life a better one
When I am in control
Calling You as substitute
When all around me falls
Am I very ignorant
To disregard Your part
Knowing that my apathy
Is breaking Your sweet heart


Does my love of worldly ways
Prevent my growth with You
All Your treasures lay unclaimed
‘Cause poverty I view
If only I would seek the truth
And take You at Your word
Give the world of satan up
But that would be absurd


So as I wander on the path
To ruinous conclusion
No matter what You try to do
I revel in confusion
I do not want to share myself
With others of Your ilk
Prefer to hide behind my mask
Continue lapping milk.
