Standing here knowing how I don’t deserve His grace
Thanking Him daily for bringing me out of the devils place.
I was in a rut, in shackles, messed up, to’ up from the flo’ up.
But in 2007 I was dipped in water, set free, cleansed, and no longer corrupt.
Bad relationships, depressed, angry, low self-esteem.
Never called on the Lord *hmph* cause I was on satans team.
Looked good on the outside but a hot mess within,
I doubted the Lords power-that He couldn’t remove me from sin.
Little did I know He was keeping me back then-
Shaping me, making me, molding me into what he wanted me to be.
OH how the Lord truly uplifted me
Anointed with words flowing from my mouth……..
Standing as God intended,
Which the devil surely did doubt.
I was in bondage, a slave to sin, but I screamed unto the Lord just as David did:
Rescue me, for you are just
Turn your ear….listen and set me free.
God responded:
Just walk and through me….. You will live…..Vicariously
I use to wait on confirmation from man to tell me my worth….
Oh BUT GOD had a plan it’s called…….REBIRTH!
God allowed me to be broken down because I did not acknowledge Him.
I was foolish, prideful, consumed with pain.
But OH never will I forget the day when I called on His name.
I thought I’d never be delivered from those habits I didn’t want to break
Or be removed from the mess…...I thoughtlessly continued to make.
He stripped away from me worldly things to humble me
And I stand here with joy to let you know:
The King kept me!
