For the now

I was sentenced to death by my friends
I was crucified by those who needed a scapegoat
I kissed the devil on many moonlit nights
And Im still here

Nearly lost my life on the freeway twice
Both of my lungs have been collapsed “spontaneously”
Surgery three times, three times angels watched over me
And Im still here

You threw me in darkness to find my way out
I struggled so hard to return to my home
I got lost in this ego called Steve though
And Im still here
For now………

I hear a gentle bird chirping “just wait”
The Lord will return you to your home in due time
But for now reside with pride and live with your head held high
For the glory of the Lord is mysterious and fathomless
That’s why your still here
FOR the NOW!……….

That it is, that it is. I'm glad the bird chirped at you, I like the stanza style change-up, and the negative to positive aspect as well. Good stuff.
