Keep walking with your head raised high

You think your worlds about to end because you were burned therefore thought you would die

Little did you know that these fires and storms

Were just the beginning so you began to conform

Your head began to bow beneath the beatings anger and rage of the devil

Yet you cried out to the God who you thought loved you enough to make these storms level

But what you don't understand is that it takes fire to purify gold

Don't bow your head

Don't give the game away

Don't give Satan the satisfaction he's trying to beat out of you

Look him straight in the eyes

Break the ties

Face him head on

But don't be stupid and think that you can win on your own strength

Cause if you do your vision will be lucid

God gave you the power to overcome mountains

You may not see Him working but I can tell you He's there

So don't give up without a care

Keep your head up and keep moving forward

You thought you were beat but little did you know you had Jesus on your side

In him love abides

Don't discredit his power

For He is God

And He is in you if you receive him
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I really don't know what I'm doing

Sitting here at this computer typing out words

Not really sure what to say

It's hard to come to ask for help sometimes

It's hard to tell someone you're hurting

It's hard to admit you ******* up

It's hard when people value their pride over you

It's hard to come too God and ask to feel his love when you feel like you failed him over and over and over again

But he's still always there

It's hard for me to look up and tell him what I did even though he already knows

But he's still there

Waiting for me to come back

It's hardest to come back to him when it hurts

Get good grades in school
So you can buy a house with a pool
Says teachers and parents
Like that's all that matters
Money and patents
But lets step back
My patience is about to scatter
There are millions around the globe
Enslaved, starving and hurting
Shootings more common then ever
But we're told
Forget about all that it probably won't happen to you
So live for yourself, go for the gold
Because this life is yours so live it to the fullest
Yes I do well in school
Not for the grades and money
But so I can one day give those less fortunate then me
Don't get me wrong I'm thankful for my education
But from whom much is given much is required
Our generation can be different
Instead of being greedy for money and power
Why don't we be the change in the lives of the sour
This world is in need of love
Be the change
Set captives free
Fight for what's right
We can be the change

His brush strokes are big and small

As small and intricate as the atom

As big as the galaxies that make up the night sky

How beautiful is this world

Its canyons and oceans

This creation is certainly beautiful

Yet the creation of heaven is even more beautiful

Thank you God

For the eyes to see this beauty

Why is it

America the land of the free, the home of the free

Decided to take away the freedom of over 60 million babies

They took their choice to live from them

60 million silent cries for help and we just sit here and debate about what a fetus is

60 million silent cries for help

Who will stand for them?

Who will speak to save the lives of the unborn?

Life starts at conception

If a woman isn't pregnant with a human life

She must not be pregnant

I pray God would forgive America

For unjustly murdering the lives of innocent children

60 million silent cries for help

I will stand for them

Even if I stand alone

We barely spend any time on this planet

A life time can go by in a blink of an eye

A human life is look when you cup your hands

And scoop a handful of water from the ocean

Slowly the water drains through the fingers of time

And soon that life is no more

Some people live for that scoop of time

But followers of Christ live for the ocean of eternity

Which will you live for?

So many walk through life

Blind to the sinking sand they walk on

They don't realize their life will end at dawn

So open your eyes

Step out of the sand

And walk into the ocean of grace
