Yield
obstinence, disobedience
and uncompromising minds
a few of the traits that the nation of Israel
responded to God's Kind
they were very self-absorbed
and completely unyielding
ungrateful for the blessings
that God Himself was revealing
even after all that He had done
to remove them from Egypt's slavery hold
they were too impatient to wait
on the promises God had foretold
Our God is a God of second chances,
of mercy and of grace
a God of forgivingness
not concerned about culture or race
come to Him in humility
with a heart contrite and true
come to Him in gratuity
let thanksgiving be in you
It's not just about you
It's about yielding to God's master plan
you're not even in control
your fate is in the Lord God's hands
