Key To Eternity.......

locked in a cell and bound in chains...for the crimes i committed in my heart,soul,and brain

my crime is desire and the sentence is death...the wages of sin keep stealing my breath

like an eagle trapped inside of a vultures exsistance

no rebellion,no release,no resistance...pain keeps coming with pure persistance

i call out His name with neverending insistance

i used to be a hellion now i'm living in the light

i walk by faith and not by sight

in the middle of the devils darkest night i get down on my knees...and i pray

Lord,i need a prayer and a healing...take back what the thief keeps stealing

i need lines from the Lord...i need His parables and prophecies

no time for the wicked with their wars and attrocities

i used to stay locked in darkness and defeat

in my heart and my hand is the key to eternity.......

I JUST SAW MY SON IN THOSE CHAINS AND IT WAS NOT A GOOD THING FOR A MOTHER TO SEE. SO GLAD U SAW THE LIGHT AND PRAY MY SON DOES SOMEDAY. HE IS TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN HIS LIFE OUT BUT THE SYSTEM KEEPS BEATING HIM DOWN. BEST TO LET GOD HAVE HIS WAY WITH YOU FOR SURE. HE IS JUST. PRAYING HE LOOKS TO JESUS AND LIVES A LIFE VICTORIOUS SOMEDAY. GOD BLESS
