"LETTING GO"

THIS ACTION SOME MAY THINK IS EASY TO DO
HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY FEW
HOW DO YOU GET PAST PAIN AND REJECTION?
HOW DO YOU GAIN BACK A CONNECTION?
WHEN IT’S BEEN BROKEN BY HURTFUL WORDS
DISPLAYED IN THEIR ACTIONS
YOU TRY YOUR HARDEST TO FORGET
ALL THE HURT BUT MOSTLY THE NEGLECT..
STILL SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE
IS CONSTANTLY MAKING YOU CRY
EVERYTIME SOMETHING OCCURS OR WHEN AN INJUSTICE IS DONE YOU ASK GOD WHY?
WHY ME? WHY CAN’T THINGS JUST BE?
WHEN WILL I KNOW YOUR PURPOSE AND SEE?
FROM THE BEGINNING OF MY LIFE
I’VE ENCOUNTER NOTHING BUT STRIFE!
BORN WITH ASTHMA A SICKNESS WHICH STOPPED ME FROM DOING MANY ACTIVITIES AS A CHILD
I COULDN’T BE LIKE THE OTHERS RUNNING WILD..
BUT MY FATHER UP ABOVE
GRANTED ME FAVOR AND GRACE
BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO INTERCEDED FOR ME AND SEEKED HIS FACE!
I WAS HEALED COMPLETELY WITH NO DOUBT
I WAS ABLE TO SING, LEAP AND SHOUT!
ONE OBSTACLE DOWN LITTLE DID I KNOW
THERE WAS MORE TO COME AROUND..
THE TENDER AGE OF TWELVE I ACCEPTED MY SAVIOR INTO MY HEART.
FROM THEN ON HE GAVE ME A BRAND NEW START..
I GREW IN THE LORD
AND OBEYED HIS UNCOMPROMISING WORD..
HOWEVER; THE PRESSURES I FACED AT HOME LED ME TO RUN
I WANTED OUT OF THE MASTER’S WILL TO SEE THE WORLD AND HAVE FUN!!
SO I BEGAN TO WEAR A DISGUISE
CAUSING ME TO SPEAK SO MANY LIES..
YET EVEN IN MY BACKSLIDING
THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS ALWAYS ABIDING..
HOWEVER; I DIDN’T HARKEN TO THAT STILL VOICE
WHICH GAVE ME A CHOICE
WHETHER TO KEEP RUNNING OR RETURN FULLY TO HIM..
I CHOSE TO RUN WHICH CAUSED MY LIGHT TO DIM
I ENJOYED MY WAY AND THE PLEASURES OF SIN..
I BLAMED EVERYONE AND GOD, BUT MYSELF FOR MY DOWNFALL
WHEN ALL HE WANTED WAS FOR HIS LOST CHILD TO GIVE HIM A CALL!
I DID NO SUCH THING
I CONTINUE TO DABBLE WITH UNGODLINESS
RATHER THAN BE SAFE UNDER HIS WING..
YOU SEE I KNEW THE TRUTH
I KNEW WHAT I SHOULD DO
BUT THE HURT OF FAMILY, FRIENDS AND MEN
PROLONG THE PROCESS TO BE RESTORED
SO MORE OF MYSELF INTO THE WORLD DID I POURED
TRYING TO FILL A VOID
THAT ONLY YOU CAN FILL
SAYING TO ME OVER AND OVER:
MY CHILD “PEACE BE STILL”
SO MY GOD I FINALLY KNOW
IN ORDER TO BE USED AND GROW
MY PAST, HURTS, REJECTIONS AND ALL NEGATIVITY I AM NOW
LETTING GO!
