Over the last two years, I've been inspired to write some spoken word type things. It's something I don't quite know what to think about. I've never been keen on writing poetry or other such creative writing. I had really only writen about things I have been thinking, feeling, or experiencing.
When these "compositions?" come into my head, it's pretty incessant. The only way to make it stop is if I finally write it down. It's kind of annoying, actually. I've even been woken up in the middle of the night.
I have shared a few with some select people or groups, and I decided to share some here. Maybe they will bless you. This one was from yesterday morning during worship at church.
We praise you, Lord
Praise you Father! Praise you Son! Praise you Holy Spirit, three in one!
When the wind gets knocked out of us. When the wieght of expectation crushes us. When we feel like we can't get up. When we feel like just giving up.
We praise you! We praise you!
Because YOU bore the burden. YOU took our shame.
Our circumstances don't matter; we praise you the same!
Your goodness, your mercy, your kindess, your love,
Your justice, your authority, reign down from above.
We praise you, our Father, author and finisher of our faith! We bless you and thank you for your free, unending grace! We lift you high, we praise your name! Past, present, future... you remain the same.
We praise you, Lord!
