Longsuffering Heart

I sinned against my body exceedingly so
I’m ashamed, I feel like a nobody
Everyday, I see people succeeding though
The temple of God is in everybody

I need endurance and patience
I also need self-control and guidance
I love my enemies and everyone at least
At least I will be celebrating this year’s Feast
All alone…

The assembly of righteous loved ones
Makes me happy and glad times tons
The assembly of godliness in our congregation 
Makes me feel gratitude in its spiritual sensation

Our community’s calling is amazing
I held on to these deceitful desires and now, I’m letting them all go,
So, reap what you sow
I’m forgiving my trespasses, grazing
In my own maze of resentful, remorseful fires aglow 
The rivers of radiance aflow
You’ll see me on my webbed waterbed, nightdreaming and stargazing…

I have a longsuffering heart
I am not going to fall apart
I will remain in the assembly of the wise
I will gain happiness and plenty of highs

Even if I am “ALL alone”,
God is my backbone…
Please don’t postpone
A phone call from God Most High or you’ll surely be on your own
