TESTIMONY

TESTIFY


I woke up one day
and in shock and confusion
realized the world I lived in
Was just an illusion
A messenger called truth broke the mirror of deception
No longer offering me a false sense of protection
And with new sight
I gazed into my life,
And saw a vast sinking land
Built entirely on sand

Truth, took me by the hand
And led me back to my childhood
And there in that place, at that time
I would wake daily to a voice that sang into my heart and mind
A gentle voice that assured me I was loved
I asked my mother one day who this voice could possibly be
And she told me it was God and by his voice he would lead

I watched on as the years unfolded and I blocked out that voice
Having chosen the oppression (PAUSE) instead of the
Freedom of choice
You see I chose to ignore God and find my own way in life

At first I drank deep the sweet nectre of freedom and boldly set out on the rugged path of discovery.
But with time…..
Freedom fled leaving the bitter taste of oppression
that came from not knowing that deception feeds on aimless direction

I watched truth, swing the pendulum of time
And witnessed lie after lie build walls around my heart and mind
I looked out into the sandcastle world
and my vision was violated
By the media’s image of hate, cruelty and violence
Distortion had slowly seeped through
And I saw my paradigms get confused

This world told me Love was Lust
And no one is out there for you to trust
I watched on the tv
A woman’s self worth and virtue quickly discarded
As she is visually pimped out and portrayed as a harlot
No longer a Queen, mother, sister, wife or friend
She's been redefined as a bodily means to an end

And men, Kings, Fathers, brothers and sons
Have been stripped of their position
Self worth almost gone
Character and stature traded for illusions and lies
they chase the mirage until they are broke down, beat down and brought
to their knees,
Their spirits depleted, they forget to lead

A silent uproar escaped from my spirit having found no satisfaction
In the temporary pleasures of this world
I cried and cried God make me whole for no words of man console my soul...
And the still gentle voice of my childhood returned to me
And said:
Take heart now listen,
A new season, a new reality is awakening
Like the suns promise of dawn
Freedom's mother Truth has opened your eyes, your slumber has been long

That voice called out fly the Revolution flag, dance in rainbow colored praise
Sound the trumpet and let the angels parade
Let their wings beat and cause winds of change
You see, My child seeks truth in this world of decay
and yes my Love for her still remains
let us restore her back to the original intent
for her heart is grieved and she answered my call to repent

Abide in me to set you free is what he whispered...
In that moment my spirit like an ocean tide surged high and sighed and I knew in him I must reside.

Truth stripped the veil from my eyes

No longer will this lie loving, lie embracing, lie perpetuating world leave me cold
for the the blanket warmth of spoken truths
embrace my Heart, spirit and mind with
Eternal, life breathing, love flavored, power infused, wisdom and grace sublime.

His words cascade like jewels from the throne room of Heaven, my light divine and
Yes
In him
In Truth
I will abide!!
