JT's Place

Why must I try to satisfy
These desires overtaking?
Why can't I leave them all alone
And let God be my king?

These things, these wants
These ridiculous notions
This battle strong
In which I'm gone
Why can I not find peace?

"I've ruined it all!" I say
Then I think, and ruminate
"It's not all lost" I think again
"It's just beyond this gate."

There is peace, there is joy
There is more than what I've seen
There is pleasure, there is love
There is God's amazing grace

It's just beyond this gate
