Every Prayer is Poetry

I was born
In a city
Right by the bay
and my heart's pure
Just like water
Because thats how I was raised
But I was torn
Between two worlds
And I'll admit I made mistakes
but the sun dont stop because of one rain drop
and trouble dont last always
God i'm dirty as the red clay I walk uponbut You can pick me up, mold me, shape me
if poetry was pottery
try me by fire
and make me your chosen vessel
finer than china
porcelain, whiter than snow
Cause I been runnin', I been gunnin', I been sinnin', I been grinnin
I been boomin, I been bunkin', I been trappin like a fool
Like a fool
God give me something true
Truer than that box of christianity i feel pressured to fit into
Cause I been hoopin', I been hollin', I been shoutin', I been doubtin'
I been prayin', I been swayin', I been actin like its cool
But prayer changes things,
Like keys open doors
Every prayer is poetry,
God works in metaphors
He was that conscience that told you you were wrong
That warm feeling when you heard that song that said hold on
Because He's keeping us
He is the... something
That told you to go home
common sense and life lessons, that's how God speaks to us
He is the... voice you cant hear
the hand you cant see unless
you know what you're looking for
you'll see it opening doors
Every prayer is poetry
God works in metaphors
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
Every prayer is poetry
Deliver us from evil
for thine is the kingdom
Every prayer is poetry
Hail Mary, full of grace
pregnant with grace
Every prayer is poetry
Every prayer is poetry
Forgive me for my sins
tho I will sin again
God, show me the way
and if you cant show me the way..then God, forgive me for being lost
I'm a man
sometimes my pride stops me from stopping and asking for directions
But as the sun lights the way
Your Son is the Light and the Way
And i'll get where I wanna be if I delight in your way
But I dont
I run right the other way
Thats how my life was led astray
The deviil whooped me but You let me live to fight another day
and with my life in disarray
I fall down on all fours
Every prayer is poetry
God works in metaphors
I let the devil creep in with stress
I seen him retreat
regroup
and redress
I let him re-enter after I repented
and I regressed
but after all those bad deeds I just confessed
This is how I want to be blessed
a moron without the oxy
My prayer is alliteration
I plead to my provider
please
Help me pursue perfection and practice patience
Cause Satan's trying to murder me
That aint hyperbole
I'm afraid to drink from Your cup
Unworthily
If I could just touch the hem of your robe
I could be pure
Every prayer is poetry
God works in metaphors
God take care of my baby
When I am not able
He said I never seen the righteous forsaken
Every prayer I pray it seems the answer is do right
every prayer I pray it seems I'm dying for new life
I prayed father keep me from falling
with my face on floors
unto him who is able to keep you from falling
and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy
may it rest, and abide with me
now, henceforth, and forevermore
Every prayer is poetry
God works in metaphors
