no matter what my yesterday...

Subject: no matter what my yesterday... Sat Jul 19, 2014 12:58 pm

I've prayed to the dollar and I've prayed to the gun

I've been my own Public Enemy No.1

I can't undo the things I've done

so I now run to the Father...I fly toward the Son...

I spread my wings to fly...goodbye

Rain and pain no longer falling from my eye

God's released the weight...I can now rise high

beyond this world...beyond blue sky

I hear God's voice as he whispers to me

Freedom within will truly set me free

Vision from within truly allows me to see

I see I'm free to be better than the me I used to be

The me I'm meant to be hasn't quite happened yet

but memories of a child from my past I once met

race through my mind as to not let me forget

I have to crawl before I walk...before my final sunset

The Eleventh Hour comes quicker than we know

It could be 10:45...almost the end of the show

Before I die, Lord...please let me grow

back into the child I should have never let go

Well before the world crept in

and before my eyes saw the color of skin

we were clothed with the color of love from within

Alas, welcome to the world...the ugly world of sin

Before I became so "mature"

and before I knew I was always so sure

Back when I was innocent...back when I was pure

Yet the world, by its own poison, led me to the cure

I have to learn to relearn what I know in reverse

I have to love again in order to break the world's curse

Rhyme by rhyme...verse by verse...

poetry flowing from the slow-rolling hearse...

The Lord hears my prayers when I don't know how to pray

and he comprehends my words when I don't know what to say

He understands my tears as they wash the pain away

and he promises tomorrow, no matter what my yesterday...
