COME, LET US REASON TOGETHER – Isaiah 1:18
Where are you Father?
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.
Do you even know what I’m going through?
I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of Your wrath.
INIQUITY WAS FOUND YOU STRAYED FROM MY PREORDAINED PATH.
I cried to you Lord, do not send me to a far away land.
I WILL BE WITH YOU MY CHILD, TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH MY PROMISES ARE AT HAND.
Evil is near.
NO, IT IS HERE.
I am at war with an invisible fear.
I refuse to be sifted as wheat
I will not accept the enemy’s plan of defeat.
These iron bars devour more than the streets.
I was sent to a callused environment where the worst get worse.
A school of criminality,
No respect for piety.
Some seek reform only to be minced in the grinder of misery, no tools necessary.
They say this is hell and the game is heaven.
BEWARE OF THEIR SCHEMES, TRICKS, LURES AND LEAVEN.
They consume the poison and are consumed by poison.
To many people to please, God ain’t no tease, don’t leave me, Jesus please!
Though I’m marked like Cain, I think I’m Able
To march through this battle though it may be fatal.
YOU HAVE A PURPOSE DIVINE ALL PART OF MY INTELLIGENT DESIGN.
I must redeem the time.
BE FAITHFUL WITH EVERY DIME.
How can I shine?
Can the blind lead the blind?
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND CONTEND FOR THE FAITH.
I can only do it by the power of Your grace.
No room for compromise, staying focused on the prize.
Out tomorrow or Life in the joint,
This hope I have, it doesn’t disappoint.
NO MATTER YOUR SENTENCE, ITS NOT A BULLET OR THE CROSS.
The past is a loss no more need to floss.
LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH — COUNT THE COST.
I stand for a cause and that cause is Christ.
Whether I’m in prison or the streets I will lift my voice and sing!
A great man once said, “let freedom ring! Let freedom ring!”
No escape from the present, past written in stone.
NOW PUT ON YOUR ARMOR AND LET’S SET THE TONE!
