YOUR LADDER WILL BE GREATER

he tried to get the attention 
of a wounded nation 
Haggai, wanted to shift them to give 
God consideration
but they prioritized their time to do 
what was best for their needs 
forgetting that it's God 
Who plants the righteous seeds 
your latter will be greater 
once you come to comprehend 
that the collective needs of the people 
is more important than the needs of individual men 

today we've got leaders in control 
full of corruption 
An extreme right-wing agenda causing 
nothing but obstruction 

we need a Haggai to come in
and strongly speak out 
we need a prophet of God to stand up 
and commence to shout 
we need our spiritual lives nurtured 
we need a protein shake of praise
we need a hallelujah moment 
we need our voices to be raised 
we need to come together 
and stand on business as one 
we need a multi-generation of God's people 
to get the job done 
your latter will be greater 
when we lock in and be in step 
with the wisdom of the seniors 
and the energy of the youth to now rep 

yes the trauma of the past 
has a place in the conversation 
something the younger generation needs to hear 
and take under consideration 
opposition to our mission 
is a part of the process 
even Jesus had haters 
whom He had to address 
now don't get upset
you'll never have 100% cooperation
just don't let them hinder you
from completing your application

your latter will be greater 
as soon as you adhere to God's plans 
and as long as faith comes by hearing 
and the words in your ears now land 
now let the Holy Spirit quicken 
and get you to re-engage 
to finish what you started
now you and the Lord on the same page
no more excuses
it's time to show up
just give God a yes 
and let Him overflow your cup 
don't get discouraged
God will give you a second word 
for your latter will be greater 
when by the Holy Spirit you'll strongly spurred
just don't let your memory be the enemy 
to the now God has in mind 
a new day, a new way
the current reality of God 
we need to get behind 

visions change can be rearranged
we need to focus on the here and now 
let go of what used to be 
a new way of operating we must allow
your latter will be greater 
once you wholly embrace 
the concept that God will always  
put things perfectly in place 
 
your latter will be greater
