TWICE.
WHAT DO I DO?
SHOULD I CONTINUE
ON THIS PATH
MY LORD HAS SET BEFORE ME,
OR THROW MY HANDS UP AND GIVE UP,
WAVE THE WHITE FLAG,
SURRENDER?
I'VE DONE THAT BEFORE -
GIVEN UP ON GOD I MEAN
AND THINGS DIDN'T GO SO WELL
TO PUT IT MILDLY.
BUT MY HEART IS ACHING,
BLEEDING, CRUSHED.
YOU SEE, THE LARGE CHURCH I ATTEND
WANTS TO PUT US DISABLED PEOPLE
WAY IN THE BACK,
WHERE WE CANNOT SEE ANYTHING,
LOCKED UP AS IF IT IS SOME KIND OF LEPER COLONY.
REALLY?
YOU NOT ONLY MOCK MY SPIRITUAL GIFTS,
BUT DISCOURAGE ME FROM EVEN ATTENDING.
DO I KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT
AND JUST PUT UP WITH THESE NAYSAYERS?
THE THING IS
IS THAT I AM TIRED OF RUNNING, HIDING,
NOT SPEAKING UP
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
SO I SHALL PULL MY DISABLED CARD
AND CONTINUE TO SIT FRONT AND CENTER
SO I CAN READ THE WORDS OF THE UNFAMILIAR SONGS
ON THE LARGE SCREENS,
NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT ANYONE
STANDING UP IN FRONT OF ME,
KEEPING ME FROM DOING WHAT I LIKE BEST --
PRAISING MY KING.
1 SAMUEL 15:22 -- WHAT IS MORE PLEASING TO THE LORD: YOUR BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES OR YOUR OBEDIENCE TO HIS VOICE? LISTEN! OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, AND SUBMISSION IS BETTER THAN OFFERING THE FAT OF RAMS.
