To God Be the Glory!
The other day I heard a voice.
Saying life is altered by a single choice
Be careful what you do or say
Think twice before you ask and pray
Life is lived day by day
Think twice before you choose your way
We had little control of where we started
With even less control from where we departed
But we can more control the final end
By choosing carefully our enmies and friends
We dance the dance we choose to dance
Then we leave life to chance
Instead of living the life we chose to live
We do exactly what others did
And then gets mad when God chooses not to forgive
Who are we to know not, yet not know anything that is
Afterward we get mad because it affected the kids
You should of thought the thought
Before you thought to think
the life you bought
You should of checked your wallet first
Before you were shown the total cost
You should've been smart enough to put some back
Before you found yourself running backwards down life's train tracks
But instead you held your head high and out your chest
you claimed your life was yours even til death
You friends tried to change you with their every breath
But you dance the dance you chose to dance
And you rather leave life to mere chance.
You was a now it all, yet you did not know it all
You were a warrior but never scared to fall
You had two phones but never answered the right call
You always knew the right words to say
Yet you still went the other way
You knew how to talk and pray
Yet you still lived life day by day
You knew life was more work then play
Yet you always knew it would be okay
How did you have such security
In a world filled with lies and insecurities
How did you remain so strong
In a world filled with less rights then wrongs
How did you continue to fight
When the society's wrongs out numbered your God given rights
How did your life shine so bright
When darkness smothered all of your light
Who gave you your strength when you needed it the most
That even to this day you still continue to boast
There has to be more to your story
But let you tell it
To God be the glory!
