Like a blanket God so covers me
In my head my ears bleed
And yet I can see my weaknesses revealed
Some evil ones try to constrict me
Fowl evil spirits try to convict me
Yet still the still small voice that I hear
In the new day causes me to speak up speak life
And ignore the prey
They they're not over me
I am over them
They speak death they're not a friend
I speak life with every word I say
The foolish shall not stand in my sight
All haters all workers of iniquity stop become a victim to their plight
But as for me I will come into the house in the multitude of my merciful Father
Throwing myself down at the altar
I sing out this new Day prayer for protection
I'm pleading to my father to give me righteous direction
Lead Me oh Lord and the righteousness
Because of my enemies make thy way straight
Before my face destroy by them oh God
Let them fall by their own counsels
Cast them out the multitude of their transgressions
For they have rebelled against thee
For my Lord will bless the righteous
With favor without compassed
He is a shield for you for me God is my new day protection

FAITH IN GOD WHO DELIVERS US BY HIS POWER
God delivers us by His powerful authority
That rescues from sin’s penalty throughout eternity
As He encloses us within His security
To safeguard our faith against iniquity’s captivity.
God delivers us by His powerful Word
That counsels with His truth’s record
As He assures us His presence since He is our Lord
To sharpen our faith through the Spirit’s sword.
God delivers us by His powerful instruction
That teaches His doctrines of heavenly inspiration
As He illumines us against doubt and deception
To increase our faith toward great commission’s participation.
God delivers us by His powerful leadership
That directs toward faithful stewardship
As He rules over us with His ministry-partnership
To cheer our faith for sincere worship and diligent discipleship.
God delivers us by His powerful safeguarding
That protects Christians from backsliding
As He settles us toward good testimony-standing
To uphold our faith for victorious Gospel-heralding.
God delivers us by His powerful commandment
That drives toward glorious kingdom-advancement
As He assists us to have divine accomplishment
To propel our faith to continue in His will’s assignment.
God delivers us by His powerful forgiveness
That sanctifies against confessed filthiness
As He pardons us along His grace and goodness
To bless our faith in our service toward fruitfulness.

How awesome is God the Lord to Whom I bow
Exalted is His name* of marvelous fame
His goodness gives pleasure of divine treasure
…so pampered am I!
Omnipotent is He, yet compassionate
Granting genuine freedom of triumphant bliss
With gratefulness, I trust His sovereign wisdom
…woe unto my doubts!
*Isaiah 25:1 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

Crank around forward and history repeats
Comprehending every moment is mental feat
Once black chains performed at white man’s feet
While whitey conspired to tear Lincoln from his seat
All there again you can feel it in the air
They all lie plenty but none of them care
Rattlesnakes rattle can you see your chains?
Which master to serve its decision time again
All that tomfoolery glitter like some jewelry
People all mesmerized don’t give a damn just compromise
Add a link of chain they turn the table again
Step right up - your just a citizen
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
Founding Father Samuel Adams
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
- Frank Zappa
"It is when a people forget God, that tyrants forge their chains."
Founding Father Patrick Henry
Hearts resume,
Minds forgive,
No mask;
Tasks unmask.
No entry;
Vigilant sentry.
This apple,
Turns purple;
The teacher:
My preacher,
So awesome,
An anthem.
This tempting demand,
Succumb my command,
It comes around,
Anytime to astound,
My pleasing soul.
Doubts stylishly stole,
Any moment unannounce,
Spread to renounce,
Hunting feelings pouncing,
Only eyes bouncing...
The least information,
To my abnegation.
Spread out all love,
Whereas, no automatic belove.
Forget the best logic,
Work out on Tajik,
With you, am discerning,
The sake of learning,
We aren't that clever,
With duties darling endeavor.
We need to manage well,
Every damn staggering cell,
Get moods not jump,
Whenever we dare hump.
Some can't eat the moon,
But you have a spoon.
Some can not plait hair,
But your hands are fair.
Some can't make lyrics sing,
Your reinforcing words for tongue,
Make my weary stress flee,
And the clock's tit-tat glee.
Broken hearts in flowing circuits,
Mending the crevices-- our undercuts,
Though far beyond horizons away,
Heart minds not to overstay.
Pleasure is not of you pleasing,
Every inconvenience is our darling tactics.
Each room for problem is your grace,
Let nothing cease the hearty choice.
Form the best habit-- way shared,
Counsels the wise, situations are tempting;
Counsel the Brilliants, wiseness is different.
Be real, sure, nothing last forever,
By training novice, you energize yourself.
See how far away, standing alone,
Less knowledge got your back, meanwhile
For all anyone lacks, keep pursuing...
Lest,
We
Must
Be
Of
Trust
To
Laugh
The
Best,
Believe
Me!
yes, I am thankful for poetry’s gift
exuding worshipful gratitude-bliss
humbling me to praise God* for being blest
directed toward caring kindness-route
showered by heavenly fulfillment-triumph
optimizing adventurous spree
midst injustice demanding fairness-share
against flaws of bias, though unconsciously done
transforming frustration toward goodness glow
balancing pressure vis-a-vis pleasure
*Isaiah 25:1O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

Hallelujah, the Creator of the Universe knows my name
He chose me,
He called me out and showed me there is a new way
To live and rejoice during sorrow, grief, and pain
Now I have a Father and a friend
Who carries me through every burden
Hallelujah, the Creator knows my name
He counsels me, he protects me
He takes me through every storm
He gives me hope, he loves me
Hallelujah, the Creator knows my name
I have a father who doesn’t judge me
But calls me his own
Hallelujah, I am no longer alone
Hallelujah, you are not alone
He is with us, Praise be to the one
Who called us his own.
