DO AND DIE!
I WILL LEARN!
I WILL GROW!
I WILL BECOME!
BECOME MORE
MORE THAN I AM NOW!
I WILL FINISH
FINISH WHAT I START!
I WILL PUT GOD FIRST!
I WILL KEEP GOD FIRST!
I WILL P.U.S.H.!
(Pray Until Something Happens)
AND THEN I'LL PRAY SOME MORE!
I WILL WORSHIP!
I WILL EXERCISE MY FAITH!
I WILL FAST!
I WILL BE STEADFAST!
I WILL GO!
I WILL FIGHT!
I WILL WIN!
I WILL DIE!
MURDER MY FLESH
LIKE THE DEPRAVED
HINDRANCE IT IS
I WILL GLORIFY HIM!
I WILL CRY!
I WILL WHINE!
I WILL MOAN!
I WILL HURT!
BUT
I WILL KEEP ON GOING!
KEEP ON LEARNING!
KEEP ON GROWING!
KEEP ON BECOMING!
CONTINUE DYING
ESPECIALLY WHEN I DON'T WANT TO!
WHEN I'M ALL ALONE
AND
LONELY
IN MY WILDERNESS
I WILL FIGHT!
I WILL WIN!
I WILL GLORIFY HIM!
I WILL HONOR YOU, LORD!
NO MATTER WHAT
IT COST ME
AND I DEEM IT ALL DUNG
SEEN IT ALL STRUNG
HUNG UP ON THE
TIMELINE OF MY LIFE
AND IT WAS AS
NOTHING
THINNER THAN A STRAND
OF A SPIDER'S WEB
MICROSCOPIC MINUTIAE
WHEN WEIGHED AGAINST
ON BREATH IN YOUR
GLORIOUS GATES
I CAN OVERCOME ME!
I HAVE YOU, SO
I CAN OVERCOME ME!
I KNOW YOU, SO
I CAN OVERCOME THE
WORLD-LINESS THAT
STILL LIVES IN ME, SO
I CAN SHOW YOUR LOVE
HELP OTHERS,
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT
I CAN
I WILL FORGET ABOUT
MYSELF FOR ONCE
AND, BY GOD, FOR
GOOD AND ALL
I AM STANDING RIGHT HERE
I AM ANSWERING YOUR CALL
WITH A VOICE RASPY
FROM CRYING
AND WRITHING FLESH
BECAUSE ITS DYING
AND I SAY GOOD RIDDANCE
12 YEARS AGO YOU CAME
INTO MY LIFE
AND I AIN'T BEEN
THE SAME SINCE
AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE
NO EXPLANATION FOR
WHY I'M CHOOSING
THE HARD AND NOT
THE SOFT
BECAUSE OF AMAZING GRACE
I'M MOVING FOWARD
WITH MY EYES ON
THAT OLD RUGGED CROSS
I WILL DIE!
I WILL FIGHT!
I WILL WIN!
DYING TO MY SELF DAILY
THAT'S HOW I'M LIVIN'!
