It’s not a joke

By Clayton Davis

It’s Here
It’s There
It’s Everywhere

When I close my eyes

All I can see is despair

It’s in their faces

It’s in their stride

Just making it through the day

Helps them survive on their pride

Another drink, another toke

All their pain is not a joke

When I look in the mirror, what do I see

But by the grace of God, there goes thee

Because of God’s love, I am free

For He sent Jesus to die for me

He took my infirmities, my guilt, and my shame

And wiped them from His sight

With unmerited love, mercy and grace

I now live a life worth living

A life that is in His light
