But honestly…

 

This way and that, I stretch to see

My past and present in its wake

Time and again I look ahead

At the future I must make

 

This way and that, they come at me

The rules that high priests spin

I follow them… I struggle still

To know my truth from sin

 

This way and that, my soul will sway

Heaven, hell or in between

Can I look him in the eye, they ask

On that day of reckoning?

 

This way and that, I do my time

I dare not ask them to explain

Mere mortal me, so weak, so flawed

For that who is to blame?

 

This way and that, He rocks my boat

Watching me weep and flounder

Can He look me in the eye?...I ask

Is it a sin to even wonder?
