I get on my knees...
I fall on my knees and ask why?
I fall on my knees to understand why?
I fall on my knees to know why you forsake me?
I fall on my knees to know why everyone else sees it except me?
I fall on my knees!
I fall on my knees to remind you that I waited on you for 3days to give me answers?
I fall on my knees to remind you of what you say.
I fall on my knees to wonder why you let me pick my last money to go seek vague answers.
I fall on my knees to wonder.
I fall on my knees to ask why.
I fall on my knees to ask why I'm different?
I fall on my knees to ask why I am so aware of what seems oblivious to the rest of the world?
I fall on my knees to ask why?
I fall on my knees to ask why its when I consciously handed my life over to you it became harder.
I ask why its when I submitted for directions I got nothing!
I fall on my knees to ask.
I fall on my knees to seek.
I fall on my knees to knock.
I fall on my knees and found.
I fall on my knees and the doors Open.
Where is my "given"?
I fall on my knees to take doubt away.
"Maybe you are speaking through the silence" I console myself, but this silence isn't even loud enough!
I fall on my knees again!
I believe in no one else but you.
You've made me happier in the past few month, I know that wasn't me.
So why then would you make me take steps backward?
I fall on my knees again - I ask - Take it all away!
I fall on my knees to say "I'm sorry"
I fall on my knees to declear my love for you
I fall on my knees to praise you.
I fall on my knees Lord!!!
Once again. Take me as I am and do not let go.
Song that I recently stumbled upon "Praise you in the storm - Casting Crowns"
"I'll praise you in this storm, I would lift my hands. You are who you are, no matter where I am. Every tear I cry, you hold in your hands, you never left my side, though my heart is torn, I'll praise you in this storm"
P.S: I wrote this saturday morning after I discovered that I misplaced 500bucks when I checked my pocket trying to pay for the bus, between wondering how I lost the money and convincing myself I did the right thing by not collecting the money offered to me some 15-20mins ago, it all came crashing on me (Don't ask how I got home) funny how I feel a lot happy now, but I still decided to post this, because, people would read and think your life is a bed of roses, its NOT! This is also a reminder to me that I will always fall, what matters is who I turn to when I fall.
P.p.s: I did not cry on the bus! Whoop whoop. Someday, I will tell the story, my story!
What do you do when it all doesn't make sense? Even when God speaks?
I want to hear it all...the story on how you got home...
ReplyDeleteLol. Very soon, i would get round to telling. Thanks for the concern and for stopping by
DeleteOMG that must be something...pray tell how you got home since you did not cry oh.
ReplyDeleteYes oh, It was something, more like a testimony, yes oh, i did not cry x_x :)
DeleteWow! God's really at work in ur life, lovely piece. Praise you in the storm has always been a song that gets me going too;
ReplyDeletewhen everything doesn't make sense;I keep quiet and just say, God knows what He did that for or why He made that happen but when I'm indoors I cry( I'm much of a cry baby) and there's just this way I get better when I let it all out. But recently, there's these songs I came across that get me goin, no matter what(Blessings by Laura Story,everyone hurts and I smile by Kirk Franklin and Cornerstone-Hillsongs united) I just smile and move on. It takes the grace of God though! Aint easy.
God's ur strength sis! U r getting better!
You have no idea, he is working in me oh and i can feel it.
DeleteI should download these songs oh. i know i can still be a cry baby but i feel alot stronger now, no shaking. lol.
I just rmbrd the book; when God does not make sense! Nice writeup Tomi.
ReplyDeleteGracey

ReplyDeleteDidnt take much sha, but i will tell the story soon, dont be a meanie joor. thanks
DeleteHummmmmm....nice 1
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to praise God in the storm, but it is best to always trust God.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, but its best! God continue to give us the strength.
DeleteWhen it all doesn't make sense, i concentrate on breathing. So how did you get home?
ReplyDeleteOkay, i know i've said this before but how come i don't get your updates on my blog roll?
i dont know why oh. Why don't you try subscribing instead?
Deletei will update soon. :)
I really can understand being stuck in the middle of the road, not knowing how to get the fare that will take you home. I had that experience in my secondary school days when I lost my fare and I had to get home from my school in Festac to my home in Ikorodu. Friend, it was a really sorry case. Seriously, praising God when all things are down is one art one needs to constantly learn to do well.
