Rip

I was listening to Pastor Mike Todd
He said some things real hard 
He said this 
If they're not beneficial 
Rip up your list 
Rip up failed relationships
Rip up past hurt 
Rip up emotions
Bury them in the dirt 
Then get some new seeds
And watch them grow 
Sometimes in life 
You have to let some things go 
Let it go 
Release it 
Breathe a breath of fresh air
The Lord will reveal it to you 
Show you the ones that care 
He did spare
Our life daily
Yet we fail him ain't that crazy 
We pick up the Bible 
Put it back down
Pick up a novel 
Finish it the first go round 
Rip it 
Rip apart 
What's not good for the heart 
Then soar 
Soar and wait on those open doors 
Take advantage when it opens 
Give him the daily devotions 
Want him like your life depended on it 
Revise
Introduce 
Prepare yourself
For what's he's be about to do
Let me tell you 
Some people will not understand
When you are apart of God's plan 
You'll have to fight
On a battlefield for what's right 
Rip up this new sight new visions 
New directions ,new decisions 
New dreams new goals 
Just remember who's in control
Life has a way of throwing it in for a flip
And sometimes it's best if you rip
