Listen to your Spirit

Surrender had me drowning  
from the flesh that I was in
So I hit my knees and prayed to God  
And that's where we begin.
 
We now can be connected  
as we were sometime ago
The time when we pushed  
others out To reap  
the peace He stow.
 
Props to God for working  
all hours through the night  
If we are to fight this battle  
he must be insight.
 
The path was laid out simple  
with protection all around
Our ego always plotting  
How to lock us in the ground.
 
Abundant was our blessings
When the Lord was first in line.  
 
It's funny how our eyes will change  
But our hearts will not go blind.
 
I have built a shelter  
where my character  
survives  
Beware the rain is acid  
From all of whom despise.
 
They say  
"Fake it till you make it."
which negates  
what we are taught  
confused by this illusion
will only make us rot.
 
We must be grateful for the spirit  
that's alive inside our heart  
for now we get another chance  
to live and not depart
