Sprinkle Grace Upon My Wings

There is strength within you
So, why are you so scared of the dark?
There is strength within you
But, you must stay resilient…don’t show your fear
For, they feed on it like blood entering in the nostrils of a shark,
Trying to devour you as if you’re its next victim…
They want you to be their next meal!
Don’t make any deal with them, for they steal!

(**Chorus**
I wouldn’t mind letting you know
How much I beg for your mercy to sprinkle grace upon my wings day in and day out
I will not let you down again like I did before
I didn’t give in to temptation today  - that’s something to be proud of me for!
I chose a different route and I accepted your corrections with an open heart and an open mind
I was once blind, but now I see
I was once faithless, but now I have faith
I was once hopeless, but now I have hope
I was once bleak, but now I’m joyful
I used to wear a frown like a rejected clown,
But now I won’t let discouragement bring me down)

Be not afraid, dear child –
Just turn the wheel, though the winds blow wild
The oceans are churning under our feet,
During this arduous adventure, you made me feel complete
You’re so neat and oh so sweet!
I bet you can unchain yourself from these chains
This apprehension reigns over us, but I will repeat –
Be not afraid – you’re as majestic and golden like fields of wheat

(**Chorus**
I wouldn’t mind letting you know
How much I beg for your mercy to sprinkle grace upon my wings day in and day out
I will not let you down again like I did before
I didn’t give in to temptation today  - that’s something to be proud of me for!
I chose a different route and I accepted your corrections with an open heart and an open mind
I was once blind, but now I see
I was once faithless, but now I have faith
I was once hopeless, but now I have hope
I was once bleak, but now I’m joyful
I used to wear a frown like a rejected clown,
But now I won’t let discouragement bring me down)

I honor you everyday,
Though I don’t express it that often –
I should leave time to give you
The appreciation that you deserve,
Which is my teeming gratitude
I won’t throw my childish fits,
Even if you allow bad things to happen;
There’s a purpose behind everything that takes place on Earth today
There’s no point in doubting…
Thanks for stealing away my woe,
Replacing it with gifts of zealousness and generosity

(**Chorus**
I wouldn’t mind letting you know
How much I beg for your mercy to sprinkle grace upon my wings day in and day out
I will not let you down again like I did before
I didn’t give in to temptation today  - that’s something to be proud of me for!
I chose a different route and I accepted your corrections with an open heart and an open mind
I was once blind, but now I see
I was once faithless, but now I have faith
I was once hopeless, but now I have hope
I was once bleak, but now I’m joyful
I used to wear a frown like a rejected clown,
But now I won’t let discouragement bring me down)

**Bridge**
I want to let you know that I want your peace-abiding angels
To hold me tight tonight
And wrap their arms around me like a warm, comfy blanket
Read me a book full of wonderful lullabies and fantasies
I wander about in the World of Woe
I love Your truth and it will never bring me low…
Bestow miracles upon me as soon as possible
Your pure powers are simply incredible
You never make me feel instable like a broken down table
Don’t whisper to me your ridiculous fable
But, let Him shed His light of blessed reality –
At least you don’t place a label on me
Beat that, writer’s block!
You can’t label me as a worthless writer, 
Penning empty words…that smell of a dirty sock!
You’re just another brick in the wall, you filthy backbiter!
Yeah, I’m typing about you, writer’s block!
You don’t rock… 
All you really do is mock
