Tin Can

Oh God, please peel open my heart like a tin can/
Fill it full of peace because you know I'm not a sin fan/
I'm a simple man, & if I keep on beat hopefully I'll be buried with a sack full of peace in hand/
You're love is the Divine dart & when it pierced my heart I knew I had to embark using lines of art to prove Your blessings are off the chart/
You are the spark of inspiration that rescued me from dark temptation/
Now I've embarked on a spiritual vacation sailing with the winds of heaven towards eternal salvation/
The compass of my heart is set with precise placement & the Holy Ghost is my guide to help advise against lies & vile sensations/
Some days I wrestle with this vessel of flesh & it can be so easy to forget which is the next right step/
But when I lay my head to rest under the stars born from His holy breath, I realize I'm not the only one left trying to do my best to rest my soul's anchor on the chest of His infinite depths/
We were designed to intertwine spirit, heart & mind with the Divine/
You gotta read between the lines time uses to define this man confined to the flesh/
I'm obsessed with every chance I get to click refresh because I'm too often blinded sick by the devil's jest/
Sometimes I wish I could press rewind just to remind me how many times I've been blessed/
Why do I still try to build a selfish steeple outta pride and ego?/
It seems I use money & people to feed my need to forget that I'm helpless & feeble/
Thank God I'm just another weasel who can surrender disaster & hardship over to the master Artist of this easel/
So I write theses songs because I long to be placed in His palms & it's the only way I know how to right my wrongs/
My insights into the infinite long to be born into Psalms & sentences so simple & strong bond this sinner to the One of whom I'm so fond/
My pen is injected from the pond of His will & purpose & the sin which infected my soul is now cleansed by the blood purchased/
No more long lost searches for purpose & all nervous fears have been deserted for the perfect Father I worship
