THROUGH IT ALL

Through lack and pain
Through struggles and hustles without gain
Through the moments I pray and I don’t get answers
Through the moments poverty eats deep like cancer
Through the moment the future looks bleak
Through the moments I cry and am so weak
Through the moment people wonder where my God is
Through the moment the enemy is writing his victorious thesis
Then, I will open my mouth and praise my God
I will praise HIM for breath; I will praise HIM for blood
I will praise HIM for sanity; I will praise HIM for sight
I will let the high praise of God be in my mouth, out of the lack, I will pay my tithe
For my Father will never leave me alone
HE will give me harvest for that which I have sown
So I praise my God in anticipation
Knowing that HE will exceed my expectation
The setback is like that of an arrow
It don’t matter where my mates are, they won’t be my mates tomorrow
The Trinity has settled it
So I let the high praise of God be in my mouth and I receive it

ANYTIME

Anytime I feel the sand under my feet
Anytime I look up and feel the sun’s heat
Then I know that God will be ever faithful and loving
And I know HE will never leave me waiting
You can’t tell me the wind won’t blow
Neither can you tell me my hair won’t grow
Because it’s not in your hands and you have no idea
Therefore you can’t say anything about my life, the present don’t matter
God swore by himself that HE has blessed me
HE came down to my level and swore by creation and trinity
That HE would bless and multiply my effort
That HE would cushion me on all sides with comfort
It don’t matter what the doctor, the landlord or the bankers are saying
God’s word is what I believe, you can’t break my spirit; you will always see me smili
