I’m way too blessed to care
To judge others now can cause a big stink
And cause many tempers to flare
There is no way to keep the watchers calmed down
So please don’t commit a crime
Some you may please, but there’s others who’ll frown
They’re watching you all the time
Once I hung out with some unsavory folks
My life started looking bleak
Heard God calling amidst all of the tokes
Now I’m called a Jesus Freak
Ever consider how others look at you
Myself now I could care less
Yes I’m called a freak, which don’t make me blue
My heart this truly does bless
Just because I hang out at church you see
Old friends I still care about
They no longer try and get close to me
Because I have changed no doubt
If I have to be judged by the friends I keep
And trying both sides I’ll say
With Jesus I’ve found such peace as His sheep
It’s His voice I’ll now obey
Yes I carry God’s Word everywhere I go
His Spirit leading the way
Gods’ Word in my heart my spirit my soul
From Him never more to stray

I would suggest that you try to add more creative imagery to this poem. You might also want to be careful to try to avoid making your rhymes too sing-songish.
Keep up the good work!
