Its Not About You

It’s Not About You I got something to say to you And I hope you Understand I hope to get the message through To interrupt your plan You walk around with your nose In the air looking down on me You walk around conceited Thinking you is better than me Your hopes and your dreams Are no better than mine You need to hear the truth And from where I stand its time You wear red rose lip stick Finest perfume money can buy Everything you stand for Isn't anything but a lie You say God answer your prayers Because you know how to pray You know how to move God With the correct words to say To me my sister; it sounds Like you got a lot of issues This whole statement about God You got the wrong picture There is no respect of person In God’s sight or in his mind He loves all his children All the same, and all the time You think the world revolves Around how you want it to be And the self-centered person you are You can’t and will not see It’s all about God, and What he wants us to do It’s not about long prayers And it’s not about you You think that your riches Makes you special in this world It’s not worth a dime If you don’t have God’s love Your gold necklace And diamond ring Will not score brownie Points with God And your high heel shoes Is not worth Anything with a Conceited concrete heart I thought it was time To set the record straight You can’t get through to God When your heart is fill with hate So think about this; and What it takes to be true Today you get the lecture And remember its Not about you

Thank you so much Debra. I don't like it when fingers are pointed. We all are human and subject to mistakes, and the good part about it is the fact that God love all of us. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Thanks Robert. Happy that you stop by tonight. Sometimes I can't understand why some people think that the world revolves around them and that God only answers prayers to those that know how to pray. We all have a lot to learn when it comes down to God. May God bless you dear sweet Robert!
