I've been journaling and journeying and can't even be called a journeyman Cause my journey is stunted at the wall of my unworthiness And the search for peace has me in the corridor of life This wilderness of darkness but I can almost feel the light God it's like I'm on this treadmill you seem to call my exodus I feel like I'm so close but I can't see where my exit is The cloud and pillar of fire is slow to lead to my deliverance Slowing down was not an option in the house that I was living in Growing up around my dad I had to justify my existence Passing over The Kid in me there was no time to listen To my dreams, "who are you Joseph, just babysit your sisters And when you done with this laundry, clean the bathroom and do the dishes" That's what you want from me right God? That's what you want from me right God? To shut up and do my job To bury my gifts just like my father told me to for the right odds Of satisfaction and success The more I dream the bigger the mess The bigger the hole that's in my chest And I feel like I have sold my soul And I didn't even have a choice because well God you're control And I'm supposed to deny my flesh Put pleasure to the back burner Take the cause of the slave like Nat turner Justifying rebellion in the name of what's right as my soul burns up I've been holding this in for so long Because I feel it was wrong And my weak version of You was so off Oh God Help me to make sense of what I feel and what I know Because I know that you care but it feels like you don't I just want a place I can call home Call home God I don't mean no disrespect but if I can't tell you how I feel I don't want to be apart of your gameshow, there's no let's make a deal But you've been killing me in my pain though Dragged in mud and stuck in the same clothes I still give into porn because I want pleasure so I can cope With the loss of my innocence at age 5 from my cousin So to fit in I became apart of the hurt I shunned it's Crazy cause this came from the donor who chose to leave me alone That was compounded at 18 when didn't have a home My dad didn't have to kick me out and tell me to find my real father And since then I've been working against the lie that I shouldn't bother With life, progression, success My wife's eventually gonna leave me It's only a matter of time until she truly sees me This is grieving And you're the only one that I know can take it Without some simple answer or shallow prayer Like, "it'll be okay" with an awkward stare I know you're here but sometimes I need to cry out to feel you care I can only hope your Kid's Sacrifice can Passover how I vent I've been holding this in for so long Because I feel it was wrong And my weak version of God was so off Oh God, help me to make sense of what I feel and what I know Because I know that you care but it feels like you don't I just want a place I can call home Call Home Lord I been stuck with the same purposeless cause Unmotivated by yours while manufacturing bars That sound pretty when banged on/ like chimes that ring the slave songs I'm rattling chains strong because I'm more comfortable with them things on I don't wanna believe in weakness as a mantra I'd rather expose the body of lies and kill the monster I'd rather position myself Wise enough with the power To move this machine to self destruct than keep my palms up Raised high Exposing my life source I don't want you to know I'm insecure of speech Feeling if I speak I'll be neigh neighed because my mic's horse White washed, pronouncing the truth of God like I live it But my course of discipline is not a practice it's an image I feel diminished and bound to perpetual struggle You say it is finished but knees are still buckled In fear that the bucket of grace will run dry And my hypocrisy will have you say "it is finished" to my life May your ears listen favorably to my souls cries What determines who I am? Nothing but the blood of Jesus Even if I fail again, you see Nothing but the blood of Jesus Oh precious is the flow, That makes me white as snow No other fount I know Nothing but the blood of Jesus What determines who I am? Nothing but the blood of Jesus God, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change The courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference
