Thumbs Up

Noticed I woke up so early in the morning today
Maybe, it was for a greater purpose in His eyes
I am feeling a positive vibe, wishing it would stay
Oh Lord, forgive my sins daily, for my heart sighs
Whisper happiness in my eager ears, dear God
Your Tranquil Spirit is surrounding me like my dazzling auras
I know You’re there no doubt – I mentally nod
I slipped and fell on my face so many times due to past flaws

I did miss waking up before the dawn before school
Perhaps, my head was in the clouds for way too long
Yeah, I finally admit – I am guilty for playing the fool 
Life is like an endless song, longing to simply belong

My insecurities got in the way and I regret it believe it or not
Positivity seems to be on my back time and time again…good thing!
I might be lacking sleep somewhat, but it’s not all for naught
Negativity tried to snatch me away from the Truth and everything…

I want to be close to my blankets right now due to the odd weather
I wish I can do away with these worthless muses that I think up sometimes
Oh Lord, get rid of my anxieties and sorrows for the greater better
I guess people have been saying I have healing gift…more priceless than dimes : ) 

I need some encouragement to move forward from where I am…where I am…
I stumbled upon some bad habits recently and I am seeking mercy
Really hoping that I take your Word for granite no more, for I am Your Lamb
I am chasing away the spirits of hopelessness to reach out to glee

Oh Lord, give me a thumbs up and or a sign that I’m doing a better job than before
Noticed that I wasted so much of my time – worrying is my weakness in all mere honesty
Put out the fire of wicked desire and nourish me with Your Agape Love that I adore
Missed who I used to be back then in a sense, but I can’t go back to where I used to be

Don’t desert me right now…yes, I will make it up to You by changing bit by bit
I know I’ve rejected You countless times by my heartless actions, but life’s struggles can get so tough…
I don’t want to feel guilty for sinning endlessly…I’m literally getting tired of it
Letting go of stress that will do more harm than good…that weight on my shoulders – I had enough!

I want confidence, self-control, patience and all kinds of things pertaining Your nature
The world has had a big influence in my life and the violence I see is awfully impure…
Your Knowledge is underrated to the core in pop culture 
I’m really sorry for being a resentful, bittersweet vulture

Standing my ground while the hurricane of insanity tries to pull me in with it
Go ahead and tell me to be a stronger me…I will be truly happier, not being on my own
I need to set free my inner glow and unchain myself from this painstaking pit
Come on and shed me some relief, not grief, even if I’m left with my imaginary friend, Alone

My soul strings are loosening up, still feeling blind – you see?
My delicate heart has been broken too many times emotionally
I’m ready for Your miracles and blessings full of mirth
I notice the ground shaking by the tension of the Earth

Sick of pretending to be a fine someone I’m not
I need prudent faith to start rebuilding my cracked bones with joy in heart
I know You will not allow me to sit here and rot
I need to look to His Light, instead of sinking in the darkness from the start

Thumbs up for an uplifting gratitude from looking up to Him 
Thumbs up for waking up pretty early today and in a repenting mood
Thumbs up for God’s mercy every time my lamp light goes dim
Thumbs up for the times He understands that I’ve been doing good

He appreciated the many prayers I prayed
He gave me a thumbs up for the sins I paid
Whisper those pure words of heavenly benevolence 
He gave me a thumbs up for building up some sense
Noticed I couldn’t sleep last night to my derisive dismay
Perhaps, I shouldn’t worry and put it in His hands today
Definitely a thumbs up for that! Here’s a smile for the Father who’s beyond worthwhile
Thankfully, God’s right hand will hand me enthusiasm and positive vibes in spiritual style

"Life is like an endless song, longing to simply belong", "Sick of pretending to be a fine someone I’m not" (this lines jumped out at me) ... I'm sure He will give you a thumbs up, good and faithful servant you are.
