Never Was I a Slave
Never was I slave physically
Yet could I be the one a Slave
"mentally economically and socially sinfully"
I have a headstone prepared a placement
On my grave site yet I'm not dead
No not yet all of this is prepaid for free set
I am so selfish though I don't want to die physically so a
And be placed beneath the ground in my grave
I want to see Jesus come down from the sky
I want to be one of those few alive
To see my Jesus come down
Never was a killer yet my words could injure
Those aren't expecting those in need of protecting
Never was a slave yet I have been ill-behaved
I've done Humanity's wrongs I've lied I stole from
Need now I ask for forgiveness now that was a slave to my sins
Yes asleep to sins until Jesus came
Along and He freed me now, now I'm born again
Thank you Father God
Amen
