Revelation

God, you know who I am, you know me by name 

And I know that you know about all of the pain 

Your love and warmth are the reasons that I am alive 

But right now, the only warmth I feel are from the tears rolling down my eyes

I hate myself and I hate all of my emotions

Especially jealousy and anger, they lead to all my frustrations 

I bottle it up because I want to be presentable in your sight

But Lord when altar call happens, I try with all my might 

To step forward and give you my heart 

But my emotions break me down and I fall apart 

I always run away in fear because I’ve always failed to accept myself 

Anger and hatred are like poison, hazardous to your health 

We’re always too absorbed in ourselves to try to understand one another 

But that’s because we’re all humans in nature, not Jesus, our Lord and savior

But I’m just your typical hypocrite 

Preaching about empathy yet I fall into the pit

The same cycle of thinking of myself and not those around me

You gave me this as an outlet when I couldn’t see

It’s dark in here, pitch black 

I only hear whispers from hatred, he’s whispering behind my back 

I turn around, knowing that he’ll attack 

But he cut me from the inside, cause that’s where he always is 

He tells me God will never accept me and my life is his and only his

But I walk on the path toward God, or at least I think I do

There’s a lot of cages in here but I’m not at the zoo 

All of my sins whisper to me because I can only lock them in 

I can’t shut them up, just can’t seem to win 

It’s always easier to give into the temptation 

But I already gave that old life my letter of resignation 

Because God you lifted me high and believed in me

That’s why I’ll lock the doors to these cages and throw away the key

What’s the message here you ask

Be who you are at all times, don’t ever wear a mask 

God loves you and accepts you no matter what you’ve done 

If you keep things to yourself and never tell God anything, the enemy has won 

Trust me, you might just cry from church to home in front of your brother 

God knows your burdens and bad news, but to him it’s as light as a feather 

Give it to him and treat every day like it’s Church

Cause it doesn’t start and stop on Sunday, you always wear the merch

Christian is a lifestyle you chose when you started your walk with Christ

You’re worthy of everything, even that awesome girl you like 

So stop wallowing in self-pity and be the champion he made you to be

Just rhyming by the camp fire, based on a true story
