Down For the Count
Down For The Count
By MEH3
1....2....3
That was a devastating blow
4....5....6
He is beat up, defeated it is OVER!
7....8....9
Hold on
What do we have here?
Is he getting back on his feet!
Ooh my God
It is a miracle
After that one
he looked like he was
down for the count
Just when I thought it was over
and felt I was defeated
He got me back on my feet
I took blows
from my head to my toes
been shook, shaken and beaten
When they said
"Down he goes"
They thought I was done
Little did they know
He had a plan
for his son
They said..."stay down"
"Don’t get up"
"This is not for you"
"Just let it go"
He said NO!!!
I got you,
I will fight your battles until the end
So get up
and get back in
I will carry you to a win
A victory,
a champion
you will never give in
But I was thinking
"I cannot"
"I give up"
"he wins"
He said, looked at me
are you doubting me again?
I never said it would be easy
You have to stick in there until the end!
You thought it was over
But I have a friend
Who is above all those
Who counted me out
You thought I was done
But it is was not in His plan
He said do not worry about it
and gave me a sneak peek at His hand
Looking forward
I got excited
and jumped to my feet
They said he is crazy
Chopped liver
Done, Complete
But as I caught my second wind
I thought
well let the fight begin
I am ready,
yeah ready to win
I have no worries, no doubts
so let's get it in
Because now I have the faith
that He will be by my side
That He holds my hand
He carried me on His back
Fought that fight
and of course He got that win
Even in defeat He got me back on my feet
I will never be down for the count
Until that day we meet
Even then
it would not be the end
Because I have eternal life
When you thought it was over
He extended His hand
picked me up and gave me another chance
He knew I was a sinner
but He showed me
the true definition of a friend
He told me He will be there until the end
Even though He knows I will sin again
He said He will not depart me
So I got up being determined to never give up
Understanding that I am not down for the count
I am just being patient until then
