MUSCLES 2
SOME MIGHT ASK WHAT DID GOD GIVE ME THAT EVERYONE LIVES FOR, THE JOY THAT MAKES LIFE SO GRAND, HE GAVE ME SOMETHING SO SPECIAL THAT BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN ME, EVEN WHEN I FACE OBSTACLES IN MY LIFE AND CHALLENGES, HE GAVE ME A LOVE THAT TRANSCEND WHAT I SEE ON THIS PLANET, SOME HAVE A ONE TRACK MIND AND ONLY SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE, BUT IN MY BELIEF I WANT TO WORK MY SPIRITUAL MUSCLES TO BE ALL THAT I CAN BE TO SPREAD GODS WORD, SPREAD HIS LOVE. I ONLY GET THIS ONE CHANCE ON EARTH TO FULFILL MY DUTY, AND WHEN IT IS OVER , ITS OVER , LOVE THATS WHAT HE GAVE ME WHEN I WORKED MY MUSCLES, LOVE WHEN NO ONE SHOWS IT, LOVE WHEN WHAT GOD SAID I TOLD IT. ITS LIKE FIRST IMPRESSIONS, WHEN I WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU.
SO WHEN GOD GAVE ME SOMETHING SO SPECIAL, HE GAVE ME LOVE, FOR ALL MANKIND, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE RECIEVED AS I GIVE IT, I GIVE IT ANYWAY, AND LET IT GO. LOVE IS A ACTION WORD, SHOWING LOVE, LOVE IS BACKING OFF WHEN I AM TO CLOSE, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY ANYONES SPACE, LOVE IS FORGIVING WHEN THEY WON'T SPEAK. LOVE IS LETTING GO OF THE PAST AND MOVING ON, AND THERE WILL BE SOME THINGS I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHILE I AM DOWN HERE ON EARTH, BUT I LIVE ON ANYWAY. GODS LOVE TRANSCEND FAR BEYOND WHAT MAN CAN SEE, WHEN I WORKED MY SPIRITUAL MUSCLES.

IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE
IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE, THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF HAPPY SONGS TO SING, ALL THAT I OWN, YOU COULD HAVE ANYTHING, IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE,
I'D BRING YOU EACH DAY SO SUNNY AND BLUE, WITH YOUR LOVE BESIDE ME , EACH DAY WOULD RING TRUE. IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE, I'D GIVE YOU ANYTHING,
IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE, I'D MAKE EVERYDAY JUST FOR YOU, NO MORE DAYS WOULD YOU FIND SOMETHING OLD, BUT SOMETHING NEW, IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE, AND AFTER THE STORM CLOUDS CAME, I'D MAKE THE SKY SO SUNNY AND BLUE JUST FOR YOU, IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE THATS TRUE.
BUT KNOWING I CAN CALL YOU, IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW, IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE, I'D GIVE YOU ANYTHING. SUCH CONSOLATION, AND GREAT EXPECTATION YOU BRING, IT MAY BE WINTER OUTSIDE, BUT IN MY HEART ITS SPRING, WITH ALL THE JOY AND PLEASURE I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE, EVEN AFTER SHEDDING SOME TEARS, YOU'VE MADE IT QUITE CLEAR, YOU'RE THERE LORD TO EASE MY TROUBLED MIND AND FEARS. BUT I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW HOW I FEEL TODAY. I DON'T HAVE A DIAMOND RING OR A BOAT IN THE BAY, BUT I FOUND THESE FEW WORDS TO SAY, IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE TODAY.

A PROCLAMATION
I AM TALKING TO MYSELF WHEN I SAY, THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO FORGET WHO I AM IN CHRIST, MUST I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THE LORD HOW EXCITED I WAS, AND I WAS TELLING EVERYONE HOW I FELT, BUT NOW A LITTLE RAIN HAS COME, SOME THINGS THAT I LOVE HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM MY SIGHT, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW, AM I GOING TO FAINT, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MY FAVORITE THINGS AROUND.
WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THE LORD, I GAVE MY ALL NOTHING COULD STOP ME, SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED MY CHILD, WHEN IT GOT A LITTLE COLD, I CAN'T BE DEFEATED, BECAUSE THE ROOM IS NOT HEATED, NOR CAN I BE DELETED, WHEN THINGS DON'T GO MY WAY. I'VE GOTTA STAND ON WHAT I KNOW, NOT WHAT I SEE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FACED DIFFICULTY DOWN HERE ON EARTH, I MUST REMEMBER, I AM JUST PASSING THROUGH HERE, THIS WORLD IS FADING, LIKE SMOKE FROM A CIGARETTE. IT WON'T LAST.
SOMEONE ASKED ME "DON'T YOU HAVE FAITH IN OUR LEADERSHIP IN THIS COUNTRY" , I SAID NO I HAVE FAITH IN GOD THAT HE GIVE OUR LEADERSHIP WISDOM TO RUN THIS COUNTRY CORRECTLY. YOU SEE, PRESENT DAY MAN IS JUST LIKE ME, HE IS A MAN AND MAKES MISTAKES AND WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE MISTAKES TELL JESUS COMES BACK, THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL OR SYSTEM THAT CAN SAVE THIS COUNTRY THIS WORLD GROWS DIM, WE NEED THE LORD, WE NEED JESUS, JUST LOOK AT THE WORLD TODAY.
I TOLD THEM TO STOP LOOKING TO MAN FOR THE ANSWER, HE DOESN'T HAVE IT, THEY SAY WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO, WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE, VOTE FOR ME AND I'LL SET YOU FREE, NO THEY CAN'T, THEY CAN'T EVEN SET THEMSELVES FREE. EVERYONE NEEDS TO ROW THEIR OWN BOAT. I LOOK TO JESUS FOR MY HELP, SOME LOOK TO MAN FOR GUIDANCE, AND LOOK WHERE IT GOT THEM.
SOMEONE ASK ME TO PROVE TO THEM IF THERE IS A GOD,
I SAID I DON'T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING, BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS, THROUGH MY TESTAMONY HOW MY BELIEF IN GOD HE HAS KEPT ME THROUGH MANY STORMS AND TRIALS WHEN OTHERS AROUND ME HAVE FAILED OR GIVEN UP. I JUST LOOK TO THE HILLS FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP,
DON'T HATE ME BECAUSE I WON'T GO ALONG WITH YOU WITH YOUR UNBELIEF, YOU SEE I STAND FOR SOMETHING, NOT JUST A PIECE OF STRING DANGLING ALONG BLOWING IN THE WIND.
SO IN THE END I CAN'T FORGET WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE FOR ME, I MAY NOT HAVE A HOUSE ON A HILL, OR A LOT OF MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET, OR FANCY CARS, BUT WHAT I DO HAVE IS SO GREAT. IT IS PEACE WITHIN MY HEART, NO HATRED, NO TWISTED THOUGHTS. I HAVE CHRIST IN MY LIFE AND HE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE TO ME, WHEN I DON'T HAVE A DIME IN MY POCKET, I FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS, I DON'T NEED MONEY TO MAKE ME FEEL GOOD, OR I DON'T NEED A PAT ON THE BACK TO ENCOURAGE ME, I NEED TO ENCOURAGE MYSELF, SO WHEN I GET DOWN AND WEAK IN THE KNEES WANTING TO GO BACKWARDS, I MUST REMEMBER WHERE I CAME FROM AND WHAT I CAME OUT OF. TIMES WILL GET COLD BUT I CAN'T BE DEFEATED, TIMES MAY GET COLDER BUT I WON'T BE DELETED, I'VE GOT TO STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD , THATS WHAT HAS KEPT ME ALL THESE YEARS, AND THATS IT , PERIOD!

THE ROOT
WHEN I GO THROUGH PROBLEMS AND SUCH, SOMETIMES I JUST CAN'T GET IT TOGETHOR, WONDERING WHY DID I DO IT AGAIN, WHY DID I SAY THAT, OR WHY DID I GO THERE AGAIN, I CAN'T BEAT MYSELF. ITS GOD IN MY LIFE THAT SHOWS ME THE WAY, I'VE GOT TO LOOK AT THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM AND DEAL WITH THAT, WHAT TRIGGERED THAT CERTAIN THING THAT COMES UP OUT OF ME. SOMETHINGS JUST CAN'T BE HELPED IN THIS LIFE. BUT I CAN'T GIVE UP BECAUSE I MADE A ERROR ONCE AGAIN, I MUST PRESS FORWARD, AND NOT LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY, I'VE GOT TO LOOK TO A BETTER DAY, WHEN I LOOK AT THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.

A PORTRAIT OF GOOD TIMES
ONCE THERE WAS A PAINTER WHO FOR YEARS WAS POPULAR FOR HIS UPLIFTING PORTRAITS OF WONDERFUL TIMES, HE WAS ADMIRED BY MANY FOR HE BROUGHT JOY AND INSPIRED MANY. BUT AS THE YEARS PROGRESSED TIMES CHANGED AND THINGS AROUND HIM BECAME GRIM.
HIS PAINTINGS REFLECTED WHAT HE SAW, HIS OWN LIFE MIRRORED HIS PAINTINGS , MANY WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOOD TIMES, THE INSPIRED WORK THAT CAPTURED SO MANY.
SO AS TIME MOVED ON HE GREW DEEPER IN HIS LONELINESS OF GRIMNESS. MANY OF HIS FRIENDS WONDERED WHERE WAS HIS FAITH, HIS FAITH IN GOD HE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT. WHAT THEY DID NOT KNOW IS WHAT REALLY HAD HAPPENED, HE HAD LOST A TRUE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, HIS SOUL WAS NOT ANCHORED ANYMORE BECAUSE HE HAD LOST A TRUE LOVE.
SO WITH EVERYTHING GOING TO THE DOGS, HIS PAINTINGS BECOMING DREADFULLY DARK LOSING ALL HOPE AND FAITH, BECAUSE WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS HIS WAS GONE FROM HIS LIFE. SO ONE NIGHT AS HE SLEEP, HE FELL INTO A DEEP SLUMBER, AND WHEN HE AWOKE HE HAD A NEW MEANING OF LIFE BEFORE HIM, HIS PAINTINGS STARTED TO RESEMBLE OF OLD, WHAT HE USE TO PAINT, MANY WERE AMAZED AT WHAT THEY SAW. THEY WERE INSPIRED AGAIN, MANY STARTED TO LOOK AT HIS WORK FOR INSPIRATION AGAIN.
SO ONE OF HIS BELOVED FRIENDS ASKED HIM WHAT HAPPENED MY FRIEND, WHAT BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THE DUMPS YOU WERE IN, I KNOW YOU LOST YOUR TRUE LOVE, SO WHAT HAPPENED TO BRING YOU BACK, DID THEY RETURN? THE PAINTER SAID,....................................................................................
NO THEY DID NOT, THEY DID NOT RETURN, I CAN ONLY SEE THEM IN MY DREAMS, I WENT INTO A DEEP SLUMBER AND SLEPT SEEM LIKE FOR HOURS, I BELIEVE THE LORD GOD SHOWED ME IN A DREAM WHAT WAS TO BECOME OF ME, IF I DID NOT RETURN TO MY OLD SELF, RETURN TO THE GIFT HE GAVE ME, YOU SEE MY FRIEND WHEN THE LORD GOD GIVES YOU SOMETHING, AND IT IS TRULY A GIFT FROM GOD, SOMETIMES WE GET TESTED, AND WHAT WE THINK WE HAVE FOR INSPIRATION IS TAKEN AWAY FROM US.
SO WHEN MY TRUE LOVE WENT AWAY NEVER TO RETURN , THEY CAME TO ME IN A DREAM, AND THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. YOU SEE, ITS NOT WHAT I SEE BEFORE ME, ITS WHAT I HAVE INSIDE OF MY HEART MY TREASURE,I KNOW I'VE SAID THIS A MILLION TIMES BEFORE , WHERE YOUR TREAURE IS , THATS WHERE YOUR HEART IS, THE DREAM SHOWED ME THAT I HAD MY HEART IN THE WRONG PLACE, SO WHEN MY TRUE LOVE WENT AWAY I WAS DEVASTATED, AND ALL THE GOOD TIMES I PAINTED FOR YEARS TURNED DARK AND PITYFUL.
I CAN'T LET MY PRESENT SITUATION DICTATE MY OUTCOME, I HAVE GOT TO LIVE ON DISPITE BEING ALONE WITHOUT MY TRUE LOVE, YOU SEE, LOVE IS ETERNAL AND EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE THE TRUE LOVE I ONCE ADORED, MY LORD IS THERE TO WEATHER THE PAIN I FEEL INSIDE.
SO THE PAINTERS FRIENDS SAID OH, YOU WILL FIND ANOTHER ONE TO LOVE AS YOU DID WHOM YOU LOST,
THE PAINTER SIGHED AND SAID IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER NOW, I'VE BEEN TO THE MOUNTIAN TOP IN A DREAM, THAT PAINTED FOR ME A PORTRAIT OF THE GOOD TIMES, AND ITS NOT WHAT I SEE THAT MATTERS, ITS WHAT I CANNOT SEE THAT IS IMPORTANT NOW.
THESE ARE THE GOOD TIMES, I'VE GOT TO LEAVE MY CARES BEHIND, NO MATTER HOW THE ECONOMY LOOKS, NO MATTER WHO IS GOING TO BE PRESIDENT, WRITE THE VISION, MAKE IT PLAIN, SO THAT THEY MAY RUN AND NOT FAINT, FOR IF THE LORD SAID IT, YOU CAN COUNT ON IT, HE WILL DO JUST WHAT HE SAID, WRITE THE VISION, SPEAK THE VISION, WALK THE VISION, TALK THE VISION , PAINT THE VISION ON A CANVASS OF GOOD TIMES, NO MATTER WHAT THINGS LOOK LIKE,

THE LITTLE MOTHER
ONCE THERE WAS A LITTLE MOTHER WHO WORKED HARD TO SEND HER ONLY SON OFF TO COLLEGE TO MAKE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF, WHEN HE HAD GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE HE CAME HOME, HIS MOTHER WAS GLAD TO SEE HER SON COMPLETE HIS WORK IN SCHOOL. SO ONE EVENING SHE FIXED HIM A NICE DINNER OF EVERYTHING HE LIKED TO EAT, AND AS THEY WERE SITTING THERE, SHE SHOUTED HALLELUJAH, YOU HAVE FINISHED SCHOOL, I AM SO PROUD, GOD IS SO GOOD, HE BROUGHT YOU THROUGH, SO SHE WENT ON AND ON PRAISING THE LORD AT THE DINNER TABLE.
THEN FINALLY THE SON SAID MOTHER, YOU CAN STOP NOW, THE LORD DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU,...............................
THERE WAS SILENCE AT THE TABLE, THE SON HAD GOT THE BIG HEAD AND THOUGHT HE KNEW EVERYTHING, HE FELT HE KNEW MORE THAN HIS TEACHERS DID. HE SAID, THE LORD DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR SOUL, LOOK AT ALL THE TRAGEDIES THAT ARE HAPPENING ACROSS THE LAND, ONE AFTER THE OTHER, IF GOD LOVED US WHY IS ALL THIS HAPPENING? YOUR SOUL DON'T MEAN NOTHING TO HIM.
THE LITTLE MOTHER GOT UP AND KEPT SERVING HER ONLY SON FOOD AND THEN SHE SAT DOWN AND SAID, YOU MAY BE RIGHT SON, BUT I BELIEVE THE LORD GOD WHEN HE SAYS HE WILL DO SOMETHING , HE WILL DO IT. WHEN HE SAYS HE WILL MAKE A WAY HE WILL. IT IS IN THE WORD OF GOD HE HAS MADE A COVENANT WITH US, HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US, EVEN IN DEATH. BUT YOU SEE SON YOU GOT TO BELIEVE. I KNOW THINGS DON'T LOOK GOOD, WITH THE CURRENT SCHEME OF AFFAIRS IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE. IN MY OLD AGE HE HAS GIVEN ME THE STRENGTH TO WORK DAY AND NIGHT GETTING NO SLEEP, GOING WITHOUT MEALS SO THAT YOU CAN GO AWAY TO THAT BIG UNIVERSITY UP NORTH AND GET A FIRST CLASS EDUCATION SO YOU CAN BE SOMEBODY, AND NOT BE A BUM, LIKE SO MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS. NOW WHERE ARE THEY?
THEY ARE STILL ON THE CORNER SELLING STUFF I CAN'T MENTION AT THE DINNER TABLE.
GOD CARED ENOUGH ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE BABY, WHEN I FELT LIKE PUTTING YOU ON A DOORSTEP FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO TAKE CARE OF, BECAUSE I WAS TO YOUNG TO HANDLE BEING A TEENAGE MOTHER. HE LOVED YOU ENOUGH THAT HE KNEW ONE DAY I WOULD WORK DAY AND NIGHT AND LOSE SLEEP OVER YOU SO YOU COULD GO TO THAT BIG UNIVERSITY IN THE NORTH AND MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF YOURSELF, WHEN NOBODY ELSE CARED ABOUT YO NAPPY HEAD, YES GOD GOD CARES, LIKE I CARE ABOUT YOU WHEN NO ONE ELSE DOES.
SO SON JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE GONE AWAY AND GOT YO DIPLOMA AND NOW YOU CAN BE SOMEBODY, DON'T COME BACK HERE AND TELL ME WHAT GOD DON'T CARE ABOUT, SEE ALL THESE FAVORITE FOODS YOU ARE EATING, I PICKED THEM FROM THE GARDEN OUT BACK THAT YOU HELP ME PLANT WHEN YOU LEFT, THATS RIGHT, THESE CAME FROM THE DIRT THAT GOD MADE, THE EARTH, GOD PUT THE SUN IN THE SKY TO SHINE SO THESE VEGETABLES WOULD GROW FOR YOU TO EAT WHEN YOU CAME BACK FROM YO BIG UNIVERSITY IN THE NORTH, YES GOD DID IT, HE CARES MY SON ABOUT MY SOUL AND YOUR SOUL. SO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING WHEN YOU SAY GOD DON'T CARE ABOUT MY SOUL. HE CARES, HE CARES LIKE YOU'LL NEVER KNOW. NOW AFTER YOU FINISH EATING YO FAVORITE FOODS, I WANT YOU TO GET UP AND BEGIN TO WASH ALL YO FAVORITE DISHES IN THE SINK COLLEGE BOY!!!

WHEN I WAS HUNGRY
WHEN I WAS DOWN AND OUT LOOKING FOR A JOB, DRAWING UNEMPLOYMENT, YOU WERE THERE, EVEN WHEN I NEEDED A PLACE TO STAY. BECAUSE I WAS GETTING EVICTED YOU WERE THERE, WHEN MY CLOSE FRIEND I COULD NOT DEPEND ON, YOU WERE THERE. WHEN I WAS HUNGRY I HUMBLED MYSELF AND ASKED FOR HELP AND YOU SHOWED ME WHERE TO GO, MY PRIDE STEPPED IN BECAUSE I NEVER WAS LIKE THIS BEFORE, AND NEVER WENT TO A PLACE LIKE THIS, BUT I HUMBLED MYSELF BECAUSE I TRUSTED YOU FOR DIRECTION, AND NOW I FEEL BETTER.
WHEN I WAS DOWN AND OUT LORD LOOKING FOR WORK IN THE VINEYARD YOU WERE THERE TO ASSIST ME, WHEN MY SOUL WAS BEING EVICTED BY SITUATIONS I FACED YOU WERE THERE LORD TO AID A SAINT AS MY MYSELF, AND WHEN I WAS HUNGRY FOR YOUR WORD YOU FILLED ME UP THROUGH AND THROUGH WITH A TABLE FULL OF NOURISHMENT, AND WHEN I READ IT, I WAS SATISFIED AND ABLE TO FINISH MY ROUTE, AT FIRST I DID NOT RECIEVE THE WORD , BECAUSE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT, SO I COULD NOT SWALLOW IT, BUT AFTER I WENT BACK AND ATE SOME MORE OF YOUR WORD, IT SETTLED MY STOMACH AND I WAS ABLE TO RECIEVE A TABLE FULL OF KNOWLEGDE THAT YOU GAVE ME WHEN I WAS HUNGRY.

WHEN I WAS HUNGRY 2
WHEN I WAS HUNGRY FOR THE WORD, I DID'NT UNDERSTAND WHAT I WANTED, IT WAS LAID OUT BEFORE ME BUT I JUST COULD'NT PUT MY FINGER ON IT. PEOPLE TRY AND TELL ME WHAT IT IS, BUT YOU CAN'T TELL ME NOTHING IF YOU AIN'T BEEN THERE. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, I HAVE FACED SOME DIFFICULT ISSUES AND SO HAVE YOU, WHERE DO WE LOOK FOR COMPLETION IN THE MATTER. THIS PRESENT WORLD HAS NO ANSWER, THEY JUST CAN HELP THEMSELVES, LOOK AT THE PRESENT STATE OF OUR NATION, PITYFUL. I SAY LOOK TO JESUS FOR THE ANSWER, THATS WHO I DEPEND ON, HE HAS GUIDED ME THUS FAR.
WHEN I WAS HOMELESS AND HAD NO WHERE TO GO, I STUMBLED IN MY FAITH LOOKING FOR SHELTER, WHEN I WOULD FIND A SPOT TO REST, THERE WAS NO PEACE. ONLY HEARTACHE INSTEAD. NOT ONE PIECE OF BREAD WAS OFFERED. YOU SEE I DON'T MEAN TO BRAG, I DON' T MEAN TO BOAST BUT I LIKE HOT BUTTER ON MY BREAKFAST TOAST , AND STRAWBERRY JELLY ON THE SIDE. GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ME, AFTER GOING THROUGH SOME TRYING TIMES, I FIND PEACE IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD NOW. I HAVE NOT ARRIVED, BUT I STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD. I SO WANT TO REACH THE MASSES AND TELL OF A SAVIOR THAT CAN CHANGE THIS WORLD FOR GOOD.
WHEN I WAS HUNGRY AND HAD NO FOOD, SOMETIMES WHAT I REALLY NEEDED WAS SPIRITUAL FOOD IN MY BELLY, CAUSE EVERYONE IS NOT ON THE SAME PAGE, NOT EVEN OUR LEADERS. BUT IF WE CAN ONLY COME FROM THE HEART AND FORGET ABOUT WHO'S ON TOP. AND LOOK AT WHO'S ON THE BOTTOM, I THINK EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE, DON'T YOU THINK SO. WHEN I WAS HUNGRY AND HAD NOT A BITE TO EAT, SOMETIMES WHAT I NEEDED WAS SPIRITUAL FOOD AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT FINE, DON'T YOU THINK SO?

ABILITY
GOD HAS GIVEN US ALL DIFFERENT GIFTS, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS, AND THERE IS NO NEED TO WONDER WHY OTHERS MAY HAVE MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE. WHAT YOU HAVE YOU SHOULD WORK WITH, AND DO IT WELL, TO FURTHUR GODS KINGDOM. YOU SEE WHAT I HAVE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME, WHEN I USE WHAT I GOT HE WILL GIVE ME MORE, THATS WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY. AND IF I DO NOTHING IT MIGHT BE TAKEN AWAY.
AND IF GOD CAN TRUST YOU WITH A LITTLE HE WILL GIVE YOU A LOT, AND ITS NOT ALWAYS HOUSES AND LANDS, IT COULD BE JOY, PEACE IN YOUR MIND FROM OUR DAILY CHORES. FORGIVENESS. A SMILE OF A ANGEL THAT CAN LIGHT UP A ROOM AND HEAL THE LAND.
SO WE MUST LEND A EAR AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD THROUGH HIS WORD, IF WE ARE BELIEVERS. THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON ACROSS THE LAND, SOME THINGS I DARE NOT MENTION. BUT IN THE MIX IT IS NOT FOR US TO WORRY NOR TO FRET, THERE IS SO MUCH MORE OF GODS BLESSINGS AND KNOWLEDGE TO GET. WITH ALL THE WORLD IN A TIZZY, THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BECOME DIZZY WITH SITUATIONS THAT DON'T MEAN A THING. TAKE HEART LIKE I DO, I DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH BUT I AM HUMBLING MYSELF TODAY, LOOKING FORWARD TO A BETTER WAY WITH MY ABILITY.

ON THE AVENUE
THERE'S A PLACE I FOUND, ITS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN,
WHERE ALL MY PEOPLE MEET, WHERE YOU CAN BE DISCREET, WHERE I FOUND THEM TO BE TACTFUL, AND DIPLOMATIC, WHEN YOU ARE IN GODS HANDS YOU CAN HAVE FUN AND NOT BE ON THE RUN. LIFE IS TO SHORT TO TRY TO HIDE AND LIVE IN DARKNESS, I KNOW WE ALL HAVE OUR ISSUES, BUT JUST TAKE A LISTEN.
WHEN YOU CAN STOP AND LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AND SEE YOUR MISTAKES AND SLOW DOWN, AND STOP RUNNING AROUND TOWN, TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, I FOUND THAT ON THE AVENUE THERE'S HOPE FOR A BROTHER WHERE THE PEOPLE MEET, THERE'S HOPE FOR A SISTER TO MAKE HER COMPLETE. I WANT MY WORDS TO BE LIKE HONEY TO A BEE SO THAT ALL THE WORLD CAN SEE, THAT THERE IS MORE LOVE, AND MORE JOY THAN HATE WHEN WE CONGRATULATE ON THE AVENUE.

ON THE AVENUE
"REPRISE"
THERE'S A PLACE I FOUND ITS NOT TO FAR FROM TOWN ON THE AVENUE, WHERE ARE THE COOL PEOPLE MEET, YOU CAN FEEL SO COMPLETE ON THE AVENUE,
THERE'S HOPE WHEN I SEE YOUR FACE, NOT EVEN A TEAR STAIN TRACE ON THE AVENUE, YOU CAN BE YOURSELF AND PUT YOUR CARES ON THE SHELF, ON THE AVENUE,
YOU CAN DANCE AND SHOUT THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT ON THE AVENUE,
PUT YOUR CARES WAY BACK ON THE SHELF, SIT BACK AND BE YOURSELF ON THE AVENUE, JUST BE YOU.

WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT IT TODAY
WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT IT TODAY, I SAID WHY DID I NOT WANT TO SEE THEM, AFTER THEY DID ME SO WRONG, AFTER WHAT THEY DID, WHERE ARE ALL MY FRIENDS. I CAN'T BLAME THEM WHEN I CAN BLAME MYSELF TOO, BECAUSE I DID'NT COME THROUGH IN SOME AREAS ALSO, I CAN'T BE EVERYBODIES FRIEND, EVEN WHEN THEY CHASED AFTER ME, AND MY PHONE WOULD'NT STOP RINGING. CAN I FORGIVE, AND CONTINUE TO LIVE, I'VE DONE SOME THINGS TOO. GOD RAINS ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST AS WELL. SO LET ME RELAX AND LET GOD HANDLE IT, IN ALL THINGS THERE IS FORGIVENESS, SOME MIGHT BEG TO DIFFER. BUT I MUST FORGIVE AND MOVE ON, IF I DON'T FORGIVE THEM FOR THEIR ERRORS, HOW CAN GOD FORGIVE ME WHEN I HAVE SINNED AS WELL. WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT IT TODAY.
