I Know How to Pray

So rather than ask God for a stronger back, Most of us choose to cry for a lighter load

And even when we know the only thing we can do is crawl, we stand on fences

Thinking we can fly like chickens trying to be eagles

Now please don't get me wrong, I believe for a fact that we are called for great things

But you see just as the sun will never interrupt the moon as she shines so bright at the dawn of the midnight,

 You can not learn to fly before learning how to crawl

Take the disciples for example, they walked with the lamb

They even witnessed the resurrection of another man

Jesus made the blind see; by His blood he set us free

And it was only recently when it was made clear to me that the disciples were eagles disguised as chickens

They understood growth and the stages it involved

Rather than ask God to teach them how to fly, they knew all they could do was crawl

So next they had to walk and they said "Lord, teach us to pray"

Then he gave them their wings and over evil, they flew

The creation of a link stronger than any blood relation

A beautiful fellowship with a prayerful wingspan and that's amazing

I admire such behavior because it's the stuff of dreams

To be able to count my fingers before I count my blessings

And even in a bad season facing deluge after deluge

I can sit down with my savior and not just talk about the weather

It's this Joshua mentality to ask God to keep the sun in a single mentality till I win this war

That's the power of prayer and I put that in my tribe

To seek the white purity of Mark 11:24 and if I blue, I rise up in John, 316 reasons as to why I'm  valuable

More beautiful than the scene of the green olive leaves in Luke 22:39

Father may you please take this cup... No, wait

Thy will be done because I'm proud of my afflictions

Young, gifted and black, Matthew 7:7's probably why I never lack

To chase after His heart and not just His hand because I know three nails were more than enough

So that's it right there; the power of prayer

The one true thing that's got me feeling all good inside

And if anybody asks just stand gracefully and say don't mess with me

I know how to pray

Amen!
