Hide and Seek

• Artist: Gazma
• Description: I recently wrote a song called Walk of a Lifetime. It talks about the time when we all say that we need God, but it was written as though I were the one having the experience. Sadly, this wasn't the case, so I thought it best that I write a song about my own experience in getting saved. That's where this song comes in. This is the true story about how I got saved.^_^

It was a Sunday at church, like most that I'd seen.
I sat in my pew and listened to the preacher.
I can't remember now the words that were said,
But I do recall a distinct feeling.
As the sermon wrapped up and they gave altar call,
I clung to the pew as tight as I could.
Sure enough, my methods had worked,
And I passed God up once again.

[Chorus]
I was playing hide and seek with the Lord Jesus Christ.
But I was hoping he would find me all along.
It made me so happy, so greatly relieved
When he finally found where I was.
Yes, thank God, he found where I was.

It was true that my plans had worked thus far,
But I soon found that my mom had other plans.
She pulled me aside and I knew that I had to tell her.
"Mom, God was calling me today."
As quick as a flash, I was in front of the altar,
Bowing and praying for forgiveness.
And my momma bowed with me and prayed her own prayer.
Thank God for a momma that cared.
But nothing was as important as that key word forgiveness.
I'm so glad God forgave me that day.

[Chorus]

You see, friend, we can hide for as long as we like,
But God just wants to hear one thing:
"Dear Father, I've been hiding for far too long,
and I want you to forgive me today."

[Chorus]

Wow, this is a great poem.And it sounds very interesting...So true.

You're entitled to your opinion, but you might try reading my other pieces before ignorantly posting a comment to attack my writing ability and my beliefs. I don't really care that you're desperately trying to disprove religions simply to ease your own thoughts about the after life, but you should know that not all people of faith are so easily dissuaded. You might try reading my poem entitled Words and think before you speak next time.

It flows pretty good, sounds more like a story than lyrics or a poem. It would be nice if you made use of at least one literary technique, besides the one metaphor. Seems pointlessly long for how little is said. I mean, poetry needs depth. Of course that is probably asking far too much of your blind Christian mind to be able to read between the lines, much more to put something there.
P.S. the bible has been factually disproved or at least discredited.
