No More Snooze


Lord I hope it’s not too late For me to wake up And follow my fate You’ve told me so many times To wake up from the dead I can’t help but sleep sometimes the laziness I must shed I am a sinner I know You still love me so For you don’t call the righteous; Just the ones that are in the wildness The greatness is that You just don’t promise me But my descendants as well Your glory will see I don’t want to follow You for profit, That would be a shame, I’d rather sit Than do something as lame I no longer want to snooze You or your call You’ve given me many clues And if I keep sleeping I could fall You’ve used so many ways To try to wake me up Your scripture even says That I can no longer say “Hold up” Through prayer You have spoken And said “Get up” And the situations I go through only Give me lessons that pileup You have a purpose for every thing I go through Because you use it To teach me And give me something new I want to praise the blesser Not just the blessing Because He’s the one that gave me pleasure To give me a voice and sing It might look like a mess But this mess you’re using to save And teach me to reach success It’s so beautiful The mess you’ve allowed It may seem cruel But at the end the Devil will be wowed I know you’re just waiting for me to say That I’m ready for You to go press play I know that You’re waiting And I don’t want to make You wait longer I’m here and ready I’ve been made stronger

<p>I feel like this all the time. As easy as it is to believe, its sometimes hard to act off the belief.</p>
