God is here
Church is too
I believe in both
You know it’s true
But I love the people
I don’t love the pain
I don’t love the sitting outside in the rain
I love the sermons
Stuck to the inside of my heart
And these days
I find myself
Torn apart at the seams
I do what I want
I do what I need
I’m here because I’ve been led here
Not because this is who I’m supposed to be
I’ve been weathering the storm
You’ll never know the places I’ve been
Wandering the world
My faith leaving me
Then growing thin
But I arrived
If you can call it that
Sometime when the devil took my soul
And I had to let him go
I guess you’ll never know
