The Still Small Voice:

You have suddenly developed an untold resistance,
Avoiding every form of repentance,
In other to purposely view heaven from
a distance,

Don’t you think it's time to make it better?
Everyday in everyway i feel your hurts,
I feel all the regrets combating your heart,
But how long can you stand up to me as a foe,
How far can you endure life's destructive blows?

Let's make it better,
Now and not later,

It amazes me how every man automatically
wants to become a saint,
without first acknowledging to be a sinner,
Why do men concern themselves only
about winners,
Thinking the weak ones are the ones to
Be called losers,

You'll rather want to be left alone,
Cause your Human idea of the fittest is
being strong as a stone,
But there's also a purpose for creating
weak things like the spider,

So Let's make it better,
Now and not later,

Response:

I could easily pretend,
That i don’t need to make amends,
And I could also cut through
my foolishness and just become your friend,
Out of the dark you want me to come?
Out of the dark?
Into your marvelous light?
Into a place where my heart can
truly call home?

I know I could turn a deaf ear,
And then watch my life apart tear,
Or I could decide to cast on you all
my sorrows and fears,
And recover all my wasted years,
Do you really want us to make it better,?
Knowing well i have nothing good to offer?
Do you really want us to make it better,

Now and not later,?

Well i know you think it's time for me to
walk away from all the lies,
That surrounds and blinds my eyes,
Yeah, I think I want to walk away,
Into that glorious place so nice,
Straight on through the right way
Heading for that little light ray ,
Shining towards my way,
As i move on into a brighter new day,

Make it better?
Right now and not later?

I really love our relationship to be better,
Even though every day I feel life's hurts,
And may be as weak as a spider,
I know its by faith not by sight,

Let's make it in everyway better,
But help me not to falter,
For your tender mercies & love
endures forever.
