God Fearing
As of June 24th 2018
There’s been 315 days since my Baptism by Water.
There’s been 13,547 sunrises in my life to this day
But only 592 of those days in which I have learned to pray
And if I could turn back the hands of time
And have just a percentage of the Faith that I have today
There wouldn’t of been one day
In which I walked along the path
That completely led me astray...
They say that the only way to find yourself
Is to completely lose yourself
But I know that thinking to be flawed
I have learned as the world turns
The only way to know yourself
Is to consistently surrender to God
I walk the Path that God has given
For my instruction
I’m just a humble man
whose under construction
There’s a God that loves us so much
He wants to turn us
away from our own destruction
The Lord called my name and woke me
And put an end to my old life
Like the screen play called for an interruption
Open your eyes
And believe what you hear
Scripture contains the message
that the Kingdom is near
Ready yourselves and listen
It’s only God you should fear
I don’t have the mind I used to have
When I would listen
to the devils whisper in my ear
The age old dispute I now handle with good cheer
I have been blessed with new life
And it’s been over a year
And I don’t ever tire
Because I’m inspired
To overcome what I fear
I keep seeking And climbing
Because I know Heaven is the highest tier
Praying On the frontlines of the end times
I know even Jesus prayed until His Blood
Became His tears.
I didn’t deserve a new life
But the Lord didn’t let me drink of
The cup that contained the culmination of all of my years
He saved me from me
gave me eyes to see
And ears to hear
The Word is the Life
And the Life is the Light of all men
Lord I’m looking for Your Will to be done
Amen and amen
I’m not looking for anything more
than what I can handle
A Believer needs light in the darkness
And the Word of the Lord burns
Brightly like a candle
I found myself not asking
what God can do for me,
But I’ve been asking what is it I can do?
Like a 180 I’ve come around
And started to learn there’s not much
That a God fearing Believer can’t do
Love the Lord first
Check
Keep myself fully immersed
Still working on it
Withstand the trial and temptations
Well It’s a daily challenge
and one of my causes of frustration
But I Build up my faith in the face of my tribulations
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else
Indeed
From my mind to my heart
From my mouth I concede
I’ll follow You Lord wherever it is that Jesus will lead
Forgive me Father the times I have slipped
I’m learning not to fall flat
But to fall upon my knees
I lift my hands to You Lord
Only You can provide what it is my heart truly needs
This is an amazing time of my life
The time in which I have been given the ability
To believe.
