I look back to a time when I was so religious I know I hurt a lot of friends and family up in it I was so misled by the words pastors preach False prophets really wolves out here preying on the sheep And I was so young, swayed in my teens Thought everyone around me needed church to be free But really church was the very thing enslaving me Confusing me with all of its religiosity And I ain't saying church is bad, please don't get it twisted But God is so much more, I'm painting bigger pictures I took a step back, moved out of state Almost got divorced, had a lawyer on the case Forced to evaluate my values and beliefs I searched around the world and looked deep within me What I found is that God's not as complex as we think God is love and mercy, simple as can be In the moment, in the silence When it's me and my own voice I start to listen and reminisce then Out of here I made my choice To run away, yeah Now I'm here to stay Recently my homie Sal invited me to pray But what might strike you odd is that we come from different faiths Saleh is a Muslim, devout in many ways I admire devotion so I went with him to pray He bowed and said his prayers while I bowed and I said mine We both believe in one God, who's true and is divine The God of all creation is the God on both our minds So though we have some differences, our prayers were both aligned And when I left that room, I felt so much at peace I realize God's beyond these holy books and rosaries So many different scriptures, so many different laws The greatest is to love, and it out stands them all The God of All Creation, The God of Abraham He's God of every nation, the worlds in His hands And if you simply seek Him, open-hearted, open mind The God of love and mercy is exactly who you'll find In the moment, in the silence When it's me and my own voice I start to listen and reminisce then Out of here I made my choice To run away, yeah Now I'm here to stay I enter in Your presence, and my spirit is ascending I look back upon my past, but You forgave all of my sinning I just hope somewhere inside that book of life, my name is written I will never take a loss 'cause Lord with You, I am winning There been times I left, but You been there from the beginning You never walked away from me, even when I didn't Even care to be around You, You were always with me Always watching over me, Your presence is infinite Compassionate, benevolent, Your power is omnipotent Your love is so unlimited, and now I'm so in tuned with it You're my hearts melody, I hear You playing tunes in it Strum the strings of my soul, Lord I am Your instrument Sing to me your holy poetry, I need your wisdom and Your mercy, far from innocent, You designed me so intricate With a love that is so intimate, forgive me for I strayed I was ignorant, but Lord I'm here to stay In the moment, in the silence When it's me and my own voice I start to listen and reminisce then Out of here I made my choice To run away, yeah Now I'm here to stay
