Sidearm Jesus

I’ll be fine,

Don’t shed a tear,

I’ve seen worse,

I’ve bled lines,

Be not afraid, for I do not fear,

This is a penance, not a curse

With Jesus as my sidearm

I’m quickest to the draw

With Jesus as my sidearm

Fear’s replaced by awe

Memories of days gone by,

Confused and serrated,

Mingling inches from the grave,

In venom, antithesis and lies,

What sins this tongue has played,

And still, God chose my soul to save

With Jesus as my sidearm

No valley’s too dark to see

With Jesus as my sidearm

Light replaces treachery

Alone I’ve felt, for so long

Heart softly beat as the shadows whispers formed,

Meandering every which direction, looking for a sign,

I had to first hit bottom, before I could grow strong,

All around me, serpents slithered & creatures swarmed,

Broken & forlorn, when came the golden rays from high

With Jesus as my sidearm,

I now live without doubt,

With Jesus as my sidearm,

I’ve learned there’s always another route,

With Jesus as my sidearm,

I’ve learned to love again,

With Jesus as my sidearm,

Life anew begins
