Something Different This Time

Something different happened this time on this year's Women's Day We worshipped, we praised and sang songs as the Holy Spirit in us moved and swayed Today we have our 1st Black female VP and soon a Supreme Court Justice as well Something different is happening in America as the sovereign spirit of the Lord now swells Now Hannah couldn't bear a child and Peninnah mocked her infertility But Hannah kept on praying to God in spite of all the animosity A demonic triangulation was choking Hannah and causing her much despair Between the devil, Peninnah and all the hate Hannah couldn't wait to get out of there When demonic agitation and aggravation show up that's when as Black women we must unify As there's nothing we can't accomplish if we stand together and work side by side Yes we know it all begins at home and by the words that we do speak But something different can come about if divine revelation and conversation is what we now seek As it will change our outlook as well as our perspective and perception in this life No we won't take flight but stay and fight against the contempt, the hate and the strife And no we can't let rejection, disrespect and negative attitudes Steal our joy, damage and destroy our godly altitudes Something different can happen this time If we simply to God just pray And allow the sovereignty of God to simply have its way So fight thru your tears while living under the influence of the spirit and don't ever waste your words Know in your heart that something different will happen this time when your prayers to God are acknowledged and heard
