MAYBE I SHOULD APOLOGIZE

BUT I DON’T FEEL LIKE IT

THIS TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

HAS REMINDED ME

OF ALL THE WORK I’VE DONE

MY EFFORTS

MY STRIVING

TO GET TO WHERE I AM

HERE AND NOW

AND I AM GRATEFUL TO THE ONE

TO GRANDPA

TO PAPA

TO LORD ATON

TO LORD DABI

TO ALL INVOLVED……

THE TIME I SPENT AT ABUNDANTHOPE WAS WORTH IT

EVEN I WISH IT HAD NOT ENDED

EVEN THOUGH I WISH THAT THINGS HAD NOT ENDED UP

AS THEY HAD

I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY

TO GROW

AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THAT GROWTH

I AM

HERE

NOW

ALL IS ONE

ALL IS GOD

ALL IS THE ONE

ALL IS GOD

I SEE IT

I LOOK AT IT EVERY DAY

I HUG THE BUS I DRIVE

I GREET THE GRASS AND TREES

I DO MY BEST

TO BLESS ALL I MEET

 I SEE ALL AS ONE

AS MY SELF

AND SEE MYSELF

IN ALL THINGS

ALL IS GOD

GOD IS ALL

ALL IS ONE

ONE IS ALL

I CANNOT TEACH IT

YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT

YOU HAVE TO WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT

FOR YOURSELF

FOR YEARS

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN

TO GOD

LET MY HANDS BE YOUR HANDS

LET MY FEET BE YOUR FEET

LET MY MIND EB YOUR MIND

LET MY THOUGHTS BE YOUR THOUGHTS

LET MY LOVE BE YOUR LOVE

LET MY LIGHT BE YOUR LIGHT 

NOW……I AM HERE

BEING WHO AND WHAT I AM

DOING WHAT I AM DOING

ALL IN THE ONE

ALL IN THE ONE

AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL AND ANY OF IT……..

I HAVE TAKEN THIS MOMENT

TO SEE

TO REFLECT

UPON ALL I HAVE DONE

AND I FEEL

THAT I HAVE SURELY DONE SOMETHING

I LOOK AT THE BODY OF WORK BEHIND ME

AND I KNOW

I HAVE DONE SOMETHING

IN GOD

THE ONE

BY GOD’S WILL

AND I PRAY IT HAS HELPED OTHERS

I WANT SO MUCH FOR OTHERS TO FIND GOD

THE ONE

ALL I CAN DO IS TO RELATE

MY OWN EXPERIENCE IN THE MATTER

AND LET THEM USE THAT

TO THEIR OWN ENDS

AND WAYS AND MEANS

TO GET THERTE

BUT I AM THERE

HERE

NOW

THERE IS HERE FOR ME

AND I AM GRATEFUL

TO BE HERE

I WANT ALL TO BE IN THEIR OWN ‘HERE’

AND SO I KEEP WORKING

NO MATTER WHAT

WHATEVER CIRCUMSTANCES FACE ME

I HAVE TO LIVE IN FAITH IN THE ONE

AND IN MY OWN WORK

IN THE ONE

MY DESIRE TO SERVE

AND HOPE AND PRAY

THAT IT HAS BEEN ENOUGH

AND IS STILL ENOUGH

TO ALLOW ME TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON

WORKING

DO THE WORK

THE WORK IS WITHIN

DO THE WORK

THE WORK IS EVERYTHING

GOD IS THE WORK

THE WORK IS GOD

GOD WITH AND WITHIN YOU

AND ALL AROUND YOU

DO THE WORK

AS GOD WORKS WITH AND WITHIN YOU

WORK WITH GOD

DO THE WORK

PAY ATTENTION

THIS IS THE WORK

THE GREAT WORK

THE ONE WORK

YOUR ATTENTION IS

THE ONLY VALID CURRENCY YOU HAVE

TO GIVE TO GOD

TO PAY GOD

FOR LIFE ITSELF

YES

TANSTAAFL!!!!!!!

WHAT?

YOU SAY YOU’RE GRATEFUL

BUT HAVE NO CURRENCY TO PAY

AND WON’T EVEN OFFER TO WASH DISHES?

THERE’S A PLACE FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU

AUTHORITIES WILL ARRIVE SOON

NO ESCAPE

NO HIDING

SURRENDER

IF NOT IN LOVE AND DEVOTION

THEN STILL SURRENDER

OUT OF LOGIC

YOU PAY TO WORK FOR GOD

WITH GOD

IT IS AN HONOR

A PRIVILEGE

A PLEASURE

AND YOUR PAIN………..

A BADGE OF HONOR

ALL FOR FREE

WHATEVER THGE REWARDS

WHATEVER THE HIRE

THAT IS GIVEN TO YOU

TO DO AND TO BE

YOU MUST STILL PAY ATTENTION

PAY AND PAY SOME MORE

YOUR ONLY CURRENCY

THAT HAS MEANING TO GOD

YOUR ATTENTION

GIVE IT ALL UP TO GOD

GIVE ALL YOU ARE

ALL YOU HAVE

TO GOD

AND SEE THE RESULTS DOWN THE LINE

DOWN THE WAY

50 YEARS OF MY EFFORTS

SINCE I WAS A CHILD

AND NOW

HERE I AM

I HAVE COME TO THIS

AND IT IS WORTH IT ALL

ALL THE JOY AND PAIN

I MAY LOSE EVERYTHING

THAT I HOLD MATERIALLY DEAR

MY HOUSE

MY HOME

MY JOB

MY LIVING

I KNOW NOT

I PRAY NOT

BUT I KNOW THIS

I WILL NEVER LOSE MY WIFE………

THANK GOD FOR THAT……….

SHE IS PROOF TO ME

THAT GOD LOVES ME…..

I PRAY TO BE THE SAME FOR HER……

GOD RULES ALL

YOU WANT TO MAKE GOD LAUGH?

TELL GOD YOUR PLANS

AND DO YOUR BEST TO LAUGH WITH GOD

WHILE GOD LAUGHS

AT YOUR PLANS

WE ARE STILL HERE

I

I AM STILL HERE

DOING THIS

BEING THIS

WHO AND WHAT I AM

I AM STILL WORKING

AND IT IS A JOY FOR ME TO DO SO

I WORK AND PLAY

WORK/PLAY

LIKE I SEE GOD DOING

FOR IT IS ALL BOTH TO GOD

LIFE IS SUFFERING

BUT IN THAT SUFFERING

IS JOY

PLAYFUL MOMENTS

VALUES

HOLDINGS

GRASPED AND HELD ONTO

LOVE

LIGHT

KNOWLEDGE

NO MAN IS A SLAVE

THAT KNOWS GOD

AND FOLLOWS GOD

AND WALKS THE PATH OF THE CHRIST

IN GOD…………

I LEAVE YOU WITH THAT

THANKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME

FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS

I FINALLY CROSSED THE LINE

BROKEN AND BLOODIED

DRAGGED ACROSS BY ANGELS

BUT I MADE IT ALIVE

I AM HERE

AND EVEN YOUR OPPOSITION
