Where Did I Go?

Lyrics

I know that I’m a sinner but I know that I am saved
I couldn’t be a winner from the way that I behaved
But people stop and ask me when they see I’ve changed my ways
They want to know the reason why I give the Lord my praise
And then there is that question that they sometimes ask of me
I’m making a suggestion – I don’t answer perfectly
I try to give a reason and I try to strike a chord
Where did I go to find the Lord?

Where did I go I really do not know
Jesus pulled me from the pit when I was lost below
I understood his saving grace I worshiped and adored
Where did I go to find the Lord?

I read the Holy Bible and I read it every day
I know that it’s reliable and I try to watch and pray
But there was nowhere I could go to look upon His face
Because all my salvation is just founded on his grace
So please don’t ask me where I went I only wish I knew
Because I’d give directions so that you could go there too
The cost of my salvation is a sum I can’t afford
Where did I go to find the Lord?

This is what religion should be - a personal relationship with an individual's spirituality. It is when it becomes dogma and people are willing to kill and die for it that I would draw the line. Individual spirituality has probably saved millions of lives by giving purpose to them. Organised religion is just a scam to keep people tribal and enable them to fight the ruling power's wars.

Oh I like this. Has a real 1940s feel to it with the ukulele.
