Idle talk 

Can you walk the walk?

Some days are strange

Can’t handle the change

Bad fruit on the vine

But I say I am fine

---

Pluck the weeds

To cover up my greed

And idle hands

And unmet plans 

God, where are You?

Will you make my heart anew?

---

I hear your footsteps in the garden 

I hope my heart doesn’t harden

But I am scared

And underprepared 

But You say, “I take you as you are”

I will be with you no matter if you travel far
