Thank you, Jesus
Oh, how I love my life!
Yes!
yes
...
breathing
.....
deep
exhaling
...
This is soooo beautiful, God
Why are we so caught up in hopelessness
when all we need to do
...
is pause
(Looking up into the Heavens..
a tear struggles to escape
...........
exhaling )
God
....
I see You
I see all you have given me
The miracle of life that is all around me
Your waters, so cool
Your power
...
so un-mistaken
It is when I am here
......
feeling so free
that I feel you most!
Free from the things that define my life
Free from man made noises
Free from prejudice
I don't have no worries when I'm with You
Nothing bothers me
...
Just feeling the whisper of the wind
blowing against my skin--
my beautiful black skin that You made in
I feel Your sun smiling on me
The smell of green earth
is so intoxicating
It smells like new grass
..like birth
I stretch my hands forth to thee
I give you me
Take all my worries, Lord
Give me peace
Your peace
The waters are no more fearful to me
because I know
You control them
I believe I can fly!
Into thy hands I cast my fear of flying
Winds that cause tragedy.....
at your command, God
Everything obeys You
Everyone obeys
.....
They will all praise You
eventually
But, here I am
......
now
humbled in your presence
..
feeling so little
So insignificant
I feel so small
...
like a baby again
I live by rules...
but, Lord
I long to be free
Free as the birds in flight
Free to do what my soul feels is right
Free to love as You commanded
I dream of that day, God
when my being can wholly claim again
the freedom,
the joy that I have once known...
again.
This time, I will not look back!
I will live out my days free…
like the waves in ye wide sea.
Free once again...
Just like you made me!
