Ever since I was little
And we used to go to church
I always felt something
I could hear you calling

I was too young to understand

I remember
Always wanting
Yearning
To learn more about you
Even that lady from church saw that
I was so happy that she noticed

Eventually
We stopped going to church

I still believed in you though

I remember my parents
They seemed to always be looking
Searching for the “right” religion
I never understood that

I still don’t
You are who you are
No matter what

Anyway,
The time came when
I hadn’t been to church for years

I still believed in you
But I didn’t have knowledge

Time went by

I had a huge breakdown
And I ran towards music for comfort
And to the arms of poetry

They were my biggest influences
And no longer was I sure of you

I went on for about 2 years like this

Then,
You started guiding me back to you
You put someone in my path
A friend

She truly believed in you
We became close friends
I was influenced

I was curious

That day,
When I went to church with them
I knew on the way there that you were real
I knew that I was going to accept you
As my Lord and Savior

It was hard letting go of certain things
I didn’t understand why

I started understanding

I was yours and I knew why

I remember
The first time that I realized
That you were with me my whole life

I experienced something new and wonderful

I saw you working in our lives
More clearly

And then - we stopped.

It seemed like everyone I knew
Stopped going to church

Months have passed
Since I’ve opened the Bible
Even more months since
I’ve truly prayed

But
Yet again,
I find myself hearing your voice
And I can see you in our lives

Still

And as I look back
At my short life
I know you made me
With that special tune
The one that beats in rhythm
With your heart

One that you gave to all of us
The only difference is that
Not everyone is
In Tune
