Pain

Now I want you to think about the real you

Not the person whom you show while others don’t have a clue

You know, that person who cries in the middle of the night

Then comes back to the world to claim everything is all right

Everyone has a secret door they want to keep closed

Never to be revealed, not ever wanting their pain to be exposed

Yet, while God uses clouds to cover His skies

We sometimes use tears to show pain through our eyes

Some become weak in the knees or start to tremble

While others try to hide the pain they resemble

Pain comes in different ways, yet it doesn’t come cheap

While some try to handle it, pain can make a strong man weak

We are sometimes given pain to show that we can be humbled

It’s not a sign of weakness, yet it can make a strong voice mumble

Pain can come without warning, yet strike through the heart

It is a reminder we should remember to always do our part

So whenever you feel the signs of any type of pain

It’s usually because you’ve ignored the clouds before the rain

So please pay attention, because pain in life is guaranteed

One day you will understand it’s pain that teaches you what you need

Stay In Your Lane

Hey there! Did you have to cause me pain?

You’re out of line if you cross into my lane.

Now don’t look surprised at what I’m saying

You need to get it together and you can start by praying.

Now you know the situation of what is yours

The signs are clear, so don’t go opening doors

While you may want to check it out

You should look both ways before I have to shout,

Now you’re on my highway and you’re going too slow.

Don’t cross my line, you know where not to go

You’re not new to this, so please don’t play.

Don’t act like you don’t understand what I have to say

I know you see those hazard signs flashing

So please don’t let me become the one who has you dashing.

Everybody knows I can become your worst pain

If you don’t respect me by staying in your lane

Each day you awaken, you have another chance to be

Don’t have the devil rise up inside of me.

I know you understand and yet you still go there

Why don’t you see the signs, stop and beware.

Each turn that you take is one to cause me pain

I don’t know why you refuse to stay in your lane.

The road is big enough for you to find your own

Yet you continue to cross over and refuse to leave mines alone

I’m only going to ask you once more before the pain

You’re about to find out if you can’t stay in your lane

My Attorney

Today I met a friend who is also an attorney

Sworn to uphold the Law and is also guided by Thee.

When you sit and think about what an attorney represents

They are people just like you and I, but some are heaven sent.

When we need help with a legal matter that requires knowledge of the Law

Only then are you committed to reveal your hidden flaws.

While we all may have our moments that we say how could this be?

This is when God sends his angel who has the title of My Attorney

Now don’t get me wrong, some are better than others

When addressing legal matters in life getting no help from sisters and brothers.

While the Lord is the only judge that can really guide our path

We still have to face our path when the devil brings his wrath.

Now your attorney may be bound by his oath of the Law

But you still must understand the purpose of why he is here.

Each court that you enter has the sign posted In God we trust

So why won’t you listen when the Lord speaks to all of us?

The attorney that you choose can make the difference of your world

You can get life or you can be treated like a pearl.

When you need guidance in your path before the Judge

Only your attorney can speak and he will tell you not to budge.

Let him speak on your behalf as you, in silence, listen on

Your attorney was chosen to defend where you went wrong.

Just know he will confide in you as he quotes the Laws that be

While the Lord guides the actions of your attorney.

Hear My Voice

Today I heard a voice that captured my heart

While I wondered what to do, the Lord told me to start.

So, I put down my phone, closed out the world

Listened to His voice, which was as precious as a pearl.

Lord, I’m lost at times, that I can’t hear you

While I travel the land, I ask what I should do.

Lord, when you touch me in your special way

It’s by your grace that I am who I am today.

When you touch my spirit, as you guide me

The light that you give is the light provided by Thee.

As the clouds gathered, the skies darken very fast

The sunshine left and was suddenly covered by my past

When I hear the voice of who I believe was Thee

While I listened with fear, I asked are you talking to
