Living In The City

Living In The City

Headed down the stairs

To the station

Paid my dues, so I can take my seat

There are people here aiming for a fortune, while others here try to make ends meet 

Living in, living in the city 

Feeling so young and so alive

Living in, living in the city 

Yet I feel, a hole that’s deep inside

Found a stop, got off where they say lovers, cross paths and never leave 

Each other’s side

I want love, but what I’m really craving

Is a peace no romance could provide

Took a drive, far out from the city

Till I found a barren dusty road

Felt alone, cried out for forgiveness

When I rose, at the end of the road I saw 

The Lord, the treasured King of Heaven, outstretched arms 

Beckoning me home 

saying “those lies, you no longer 

have to listen

since you’re home, you don’t have to roam and…”

Live in, live in the city

Feel lost abandoned or alone

You are loved, by I the Lord of heaven

This is truth that will always be known

I am 34 years old, and I live in beautiful Fort Collins, CO! I love the three places I have ever called home, Louisiana, Colorado, and of course UGANDA! This blog will continue to chronicle, as it has for almost eight years now, my journey of discovering who Jesus is and learning to follow Him daily. I invite you to join me in my journey and hang on for the ride! Sincerely, Jacob McGowen February 2022 Fort Collins, CO USA
