That Goes Double for MeA Poem by Josh AndersonWhen everything seems to happen to you, only double
Seeking sanctuary, but there's no steeple to hide me
Every step that I take there's a door closing behind me There's no rest for the wicked, not wink of sleep There's no rest for the wicked, and that goes double for me Every corner I turn is another step I take blindly Every hand that I shake is another person killing me kindly There's no trust for the dishonest, I've lied more than enough There's no trust for the dishonest, and that goes double for love I seek out forgiveness, but I can't seem to find words Every prayer that I utter gets lost, goes unheard There's no redemption in hell, and I guess that's where I'll be There's no redemption in hell and that goes double for me I see a light shining, is it too good to be true The fire falls flat, God followed through There's power in faith, there's strength in the unseen There's power in faith, and that goes double for me © 2014 Josh Anderson |
