My God & I

I once attended a church where I was referred to as a "novice in my Christian walk."  Writing this song helped me understand that someone else's opinion of my walk with God doesn't matter...It's between my God & I.

"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works"   Hebrews 10:24

My God and I
words & music by Beth Williams

she said "you're a novice in your Christian walk,
you're not qualified....you won't do"
and i thought "excuse me but you don't know me
who i am where i've been or what i've come through"

won't you come to my house for dinner?
let me bake you homemade bread and sweet ham
it was long ago i was a drunk and a sinner
let me show you how much better i am
my house is clean and there's a warm fire burnin'
the 2 cats are fed and my chores are all done
every bill is paid and i'm not in any trouble
look and see how far i have come

i look life in the eye...get up if i fall stand tall
and look life in the eye....my God and i

there was a time my mind couldn't see straight
all of those years i can't undo what's done
but i've been forgiven i been a livin'
a good life up each day with the Son

i look life in the eye...get up if i fall stand tall
and look life in the eye...my God and i

life's too short to live like a beggar
i don't need your approval i do as i please
but let me say right now for the record
we're doin' fine thank you my God & me

so won't you come to my house for dinner
let me bake you homemade bread and sweet ham
it was long ago i was a drunk and a sinner
let me show you how much better i am
