Training, safety equipment must for sewer men

I am I am so dirty, I'm filthy flowing, oozing out down I am as filthy water going, going down into the drain I am open, an open spicket and my sins are filthy brown and red oozing out coverings flowing out from the top of my head I am open sink hole stuck in shame Like pouring filthy water down the drain I stand before you and inhale Your spirit into my being (well) Sanction me separate me holy Preserve purge me for your duty I am open, an open spicket and my sins are filthy brown and red oozing out coverings flowing out from the top of my head I am open sink hole stuck in shame Like pouring filthy water down the drain I stand on call for those wars, in end times truly I stand before the saints of God as victors and not losers Rising up to battle, no, no, no I just won't settle I'll be ready not just getting ready I am open, an open spicket and my sins are filthy brown and red oozing out coverings flowing out from the top of my head I am open sink hole stuck in shame Like pouring filthy water down the drain Don't hold on to future pasts or presents sins Whether named demon, devil, Lucifer or Satan I'm going to release myself and just let my filth from out of me like a fountain flowing valiantly Like pouring filthy water down the drain Like pouring filthy water down the drain A disobedient spirit I choose not to hear him no, no, no, no no I denounce your tempting's and disobedient messages Oh ah huh! I'm now ever so redeemed I'm redeem myself by reading, hearting and doing God's Holy passages I am know longer act this way, I am freed by the blood of the lamb I am like filthy water going down the drain From the anthology" For the Love of the Father " 5/17/15 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2015, 2021©
