So self-sufficiency dies hard, But when rightfully humbled, God shows up in burning May we into the fray like "I got something to say" May we no armies, no weapons, no ceremonial authority Just a stick of an old-timer and not an ounce of fear May we a faith birthed out of a revelation of promise A reflex caused by what you to be true of God is not a comic book There are no perfect victims or villains, us We are smog-laced oxygen tanks to capsize murderers Resting on his power of deliverance and the to accomplish it May I in the belly of what Babylon is biting In the vein of the metaphor of what love exists for May my legacy be permanently associated those hated An exodus from Exodus with concern for what Pharaoh thinks May we be crooked And we are not those without or hoping in hope alone Resurrection shows that land is not our home We are sojourners living out a past action bought us the knowledge that we have yet to see the fullness of what it got us All of groaning, labor aches and pains Like the of a planet's moon could make Saturn's rings My crooked soul covered in stains Blessing is a perspective, the ironic of cancer If I could bottle the feeling where morning's a blessing every breath could be your last one man, that's the answer Be patient one another, be gracious 'cause our time is short Remember you too were once in darkness 'fore he brought Christ the hope of sealed our eternity Purchased permanently, by only Him But my mouth has yet to catch up with what my knows And my heart is still lightyears my library, it's scary There's no plaques on my 'Cept the influence I had on those plaques on they wall It could leave a man like "when it finna be my turn?"
