My Freedom!
The son of man set me free And just like that I’m free indeed Not because of my deeds But because he set me free! It’s crazy to believe My mind says it’s post-nut clarity Says I’m abusing God’s grace But Mercy said No! Guilt tried visiting When I refused to open Condemnation tried to…

Real Thanksgiving!
Somedays I’m tired, Sometimes I’m sad, Sometimes I’m happy, Sometimes I’m glad. Somedays everything seems to align, Other days things fall apart Like I’m Chinua writing these lines, And Living was my crime Somedays I have faith, Somedays I accept my fate.
