Horribly Backslid
I have horribly backslid and I can't even tell.
Because I go to church regularly I didn't recognize my stride into hell.
I use my gifts for God so that means that we're close.
I pray for a long list of people and I pray longer than most.
Everybody knows that I'm shining star
and I keep myself humble by pretending that they are.
I think that I'm saved because I listen to sermons and shout "Amen!"
I adhere to the Word of God and my monotony doesn't end.
So I was surprised when God told me that I was falling away.
"How?" I asked him quizzically, "when from Your Word I rarely stray?"
He told me that I wasn't focused on Him and He wants my affection and heart.
He said I got caught up in routine and strayed from the romance we had at the start.
I had to admit that lately my soul was feeling a little dry.
I was caught up in religion that's why.
