In your book you tell me that,
If I seek your Kingdom, you’ll give back.
I seek your word every single day
And I believe you’re with me all the way.
The heart is wicked and deceitful
But not so if you’re people’s steeple
Is rooted only in your word,
The desires you give us have a reason to occur.

I miss this feeling that you give
The feeling that you make me live
Every single time I take a mic
And spit these lyrics, and call to fight.
The battles of my fairy tales
And inspire folks across the gales
Of wind and time and folklore Lord
And drive The Evil One from The (bored/board).

If you are eminent within
Every single stitch of this world’s skin
If you’re the one who sent rainbows
And saved us with that Crimson flow
Then maybe you’re an artist too
Who created this world - It’s greens and blues
Who created rhythm, rhyme, and sound,
Who created order structure all around,
Who told us tales and wrote them down,
The story of YOU is what I’ve found
In your word and in your life,
Lord help me to be strong and take this advice,

Ever since I was a little boy I loved and honored you, Lord.
Ever since I was a little boy fairy tales left me floored.
They teach me dragons can be beat
And they point me back to The Word.
And I know to must this sounds absurd,
It must sound absurd...
But guess what? So does your word!

In Numbers you spoke through the mouth of an ass.
Speak through this scared little boy in a Manner crass.
Use the foolish things of the world to bring you glory!
Help me to be one who not only tells stories
But illustrates with the power of Rhyme And Space
Not novels or movies. Not at the World’s pace.
You’ve given me a talent and a drive.
Please help me to survive and thrive.

So in closing, I guess this is how I define
My place inside this combination of space and time.
At least for now, though I’m a shifting planet.
Lord make me solid as granite.

I’m a lyrical emissary who speaks out tales
I’m a Story-Warrior and I will not fail.
If God builds this house, It will not fall or be replaced.
