Set Free

Without God I don't know what I would do!
Life for me had been like an old shoe--
worn out, dirty, ugly, pew!

I had fought until I sought,
then began to receive a new thought--
one after the other after the other.
I encouraged a new brother.

Life was different now,
I didn't need to milk the cow.
Blessings come to me,
because I'm set free!

Can't complain about what use to be--
was no good for Old Me,
New Me can clearly see!

Thought I had everything figured out,
but what I needed God gave me a shout!

Praise comes from once dry lips
that use to take many sips.
These days walk a straight line,
the body now feels fine!

So in love with the New Me,
forgot about the Old She--
angry, bitter, and lost,
now a warm heart melts the frost.

God is able,
keeps food on my table!

God is so sweet,
better than the best cut meat!

God is my one true friend,
who determines my end.

Reconciled Past

I've left my past for I've come
face-to-face with my Lord.

I refuse to leave this world without
resolve and I refuse to carry the burden
of not saying sorry...

I'm asking for forgiveness
from innocent bystanders
caught in the cross fire
between my angels and my demons.

For my battles of war were
those of selfishness, idol worship,
vulgar talk, bad drink, promiscuity...

I saw the plagues of death
but escaped them
Thank God I'm still alive!
