Drowning On The Surface
My Faith Is Being Tested
The Enemy Wants To Ensure That My Meter Reaches Restless
Oxygen At 100 But I Have A Slight Confession
I’m Drowning On The Surface And I Could Be Gone In Seconds
I Just Need One Reason To Keep Fighting These Demons
To Make It Through My Season Genie In A Bottle Give Me Something To Believe In
The Surface Is Uneven And That Hole I Filled Has Steepened
Life Keep Throwing Punches And This Is A Brutal Beating
Life Is What You Make It But Theres A Deeper Meaning
End Isnt Final Just Next Step Of Completion
When God Is For You Who Can Be Against You ?
Tell Me Whats The Issue
Statements Sounding False And The Facts Look Artificial
If I Gave You This Size 7 And I Made It Fit Your Feet
Could You Handle All The Pressure That Comes With Being Me ?
If I Wrote It Step By Step Would You Understand Directions ?
Or Give It What You Got And Just Wait For The Corrections
See I Have To Be Direct Cause I’m Not Good With Rejection
I Had To Bite The Bullet Where’s The Love & Affection ?
They Told Me Use My Voice To Build Better Connections
But Left Me 6 Feet Under Without Air Or Protection
The Enemy Whispered “Will You Float Or Will You Fall”
I Replied With Grace
“God Is Light In Him There Is No Darkness At All” 1 John 1:5
My Strength To Shake It Off He Helped Me Walk Before I Crawled
It’s Time To Take A Bow How Bout A Round Of Applause
His Preserving Power Allowed The Force From Within To Not Just Move Mountains But Forgive Me For My Sins
The Devil Tried To Shake Me, Forgetting He Who Made Me And I Know This May Sound Crazy But He Does It On A Daily
Grateful To Be More Than A Name In A World Full Of Pain Where The Things That Keep Me Sane Are From Things I Cant Explain
Faith Leads To Victory And I Am On A Mission
Breaking Every Barrier With God As My WitnessVoting is closed
