Is Jesus Your Pal?

Is Jesus your pal?
Do you call out his name,
When your concience is shivering?
Do you need someone too,
Just like those people who
Find peace in someone’s promises?
You sure don’t need my promises…
So come and sit on my box,
Enjoy the view of this water,
Where my lifeboat is sinking.
If you open your eyes,
Take a look at this mess,
Could you fake your reflection, child?
If you reach out for more,
You’ll find nothing but sorrow.
'Cause knowledge is hollow.
And pride is hard to swallow.
So come and sit on my box,
Take a view of this water,
Where my lifeboat is sinking.
