Speaking Through the Heart
As I pulled back the curtain it reared its ugly head
And I knew for certain I was about to do what I dread
It came so suddenly but it was watching all day
In binding me I am not free and no longer have my say
So I sit down and began to write unfurling the soul for all
Of sins terrible plight noticing it throughout the fall
Until we hit bottom knowing soon we will be right back
Now feeling so glum it so hard to get back on the right track
It seems the harder I would try the greater would be the fall
Seeming to make my whole life a lie
if you can’t heed God’s Call
So I write this next line and continue on in the deepest thought
For all is not fine for sin has the cost of what it has wrought
And as the last line is completed and I kneel down to pray
I realize sin has been defeated if I’d only follow in His Way
But tonite was a start a new beginning to say of sort
In speaking through your heart satan isn’t able to distort
James 3:14
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth
