My Name
My first name is ‘Disconnected’
Middle name is ‘Lazy’
Last name ‘Daydreamer’
I live in the state of ‘Constant Want’
Near the city of ‘Desperation’
My house is located on ‘Barely Making it Avenue’
My main desire has been ‘Living my own Life’
Yet my actions in obtaining it are ‘Freddy the Freeloader’
Please Lord, change me! Make me who You meant for me to be
Give me the strength to stand up, courage to take a chance
Fill me with Your love and Spirit that I not fear failure
That I may be a blessing to others and glorify You
Forgive me for living as my name states
I know they are not the name that You gave me
Yet they are the ones I took upon myself
Now with You, Lord … My first name is ‘Joyful Singing’
Middle name ‘Thankful Spirit’, last name ‘Saved by Grace’.
I am a child of God, living in Your Care!
