Poem
I used to sleep with depression and kiss shame on the cheek Trying to run from all the lies, but myself was chasing me I was drowning from all that I cried but let me tell you what one of HIS tears did for me But, first I must rewind to my past where my thoughts were slowly choking me I even circled a couple of dates with no lady R.I.P. Fast forward in one months time I'm totally free, compared to about 28 years of new age slavery I was chained to regret, opinions, debt, social media, threats, fear, pride, and of course selfishness Alcohol got me too, I was thirsty but never quenched In stress I was drenched Then my speech that was meant for life became a toxic poison, so please, please, please, excuse my french And I'm spite of getting drunk off my own self indulgence HE still chose me as well as all of you ladies and gents HE took my life and erased it clean, giving me a new genesis, in His love I am redeemed I deserve absolutely nothing but in Him I have more than everything So I preach the sermon of my testimony to all who are listening I no longer live the life I used to breathe I was speeding towards death, hanging myself where He died for me, and took His last earthly breath So, He sent me a reminder text I am next To still waters, a firm Oak Tree And one by one He removed the nails of persecution from my being Therefore I sing a praise of Hallelujah and hear the voices of angels echoing Oh what a joy it is too walk with Jesus again, my strength is planted in His roots like osmosis He lit candles around the past of my diagnosis So I could forever smell the scent of victory One thing about my God, He never stops working Over time it's something we all see, so I encourage you to sell Him first and often I now remain present in His presence, humbling myself and emptying out all of the world I still hold Multiplied two fold I repent With freedom I am chained to the love of His new covenant No matter the cross before me I remain faithfully obedient Knowing one day all will proclaim HIM as Lord in Jesus Name So, if you ask me what God has done in my life, these are the words I will sing As He continues to deliver you and me p.s. and I'ma shout it from the roof tops, better yet a mountain just in case you were wondering...
