Louise Nelson Poet Ballad

There's protest in my praying

there's protest in my praying 
a defiance that keeps playing
I raise objections when I talk to Father God 
about the dissatisfaction within my heart 

I remonstrate I demonstrate 
I tell God how I feel 
I speak from places of pain 
that I need Him to heal 
I protest about my circumstances
and my situation 
I challenged Him to perform 
a godly reformation 

there's protests in my praying
and like Moses was, I'm unsure 
that what God desires from me 
I don't know if I can speak for 

I remonstrate, I demonstrate 
I tell God how I feel
I speak from places of pain 
that I need Him to heal 
I protest about my circumstances 
and my situation 
I challenge Him to perform 
a godly reformation 

I need God to respond to my words, my needs 
and my desires 
I need Him to put into place 
that which will have me inspired 
so that I can become the best me 
that I can possibly be 
for God to mold me, to enfold me 
and recreate my destiny 

and like Hannah who fiercely desired a son 
she prayed in protest until the deed was done 

I remonstrate I demonstrate 
I tell God how I feel 
I speak from places of pain 
that I need Him to heal 
I protest about my circumstances 
and my situation 
I challenge Him to perform 
a godly reformation 

and like those two midwives who refused 
to kill little boys 
they prayed in protest until 
God's might was deployed 

I remonstrate, I demonstrate
I tell God how I feel 
I speak from places of pain 
That I need Him to heal
. 
I raised objections when I talked to God 
and He addressed the dissatisfaction 
that was in my heart 

I no longer remonstrate 
I no longer demonstrate 
God now knows how I feel
He's taken away my pain 
and me He's now healed 
No more protests about my circumstances 
nor my situation 
for God has performed on me
a Godly reformation 

God responded to my words, my needs
my wants and my desires 
He's molded me and enfolded me 
and in true faith, I'm  now inspired
