Shelf
by mike bullock

Do you aspire to be the one
Who can't get off your shelf
Have you reached your sell by date
Content to be yourself
Do you feel there's something more
To this great Christian walk
But have no close relationship
Cause all you do is talk.

You reach for books by famous folk
Who tell you how to be
The shining,saintly,wondrous one
That God invites for tea
Several chapters mapping out
The steps you need to take
It never seems to work for you
There must be some mistake.

Relationship is building blocks
You have to spend the time
Getting closer to your friend
The mountains,you must climb
Against the tide,the devil sends
To wash you back to shore
You have to swim towards your goal
To reach the great amour.
