Stop Running (Don'T Run)

Stop running.
Be still.
He wants to heal, 
Your wounds.

Stand still
Don’t worry
About yourself if you fall
Stop running 
And answer his call.

He will break down the wall 
Of confusion, of delusion.
He will rebuild you on a stable ,
Foundation and give you,
A plantation,
That will forever reap,
Grand harvests.
He has given you gifts,
That you never knew existed.
He loves you.
You are his son .
He is the only dad,
That matters.
He will feed you from,
An ever full platter.

Rodney, stop running.
Be still.
He wants you to be healed,
From your wounds,
Those that are seen and unseen.
Let your real father intervene

Rodney, he loves you.
So stand still,
Don’t worry.
He won’t let you fall
Stop running, Rodney
And answer his call.
