Broken Hallelujah

(The Prophet, Joel Acts 2:17-21 audio reading)

Nothing wrong with following your dreams
Until you find out what it actually means
In reality doe it ain't always as it seems
When your all about yourself how could you see whos on your team

If R is the only difference between a friend and a fiend
Was any of it Real? or was it all a scheme?
Did anyone matter? or just your self esteem?
How many hearts must you shatter to you build your own regime?

If I had known what I know at 18
Would I have been less busy trying to get in those jeans?
Should've invested in your growth and treated you like queen
If only making the same mistakes wasn't in my genes

Long for fulfilment in stacking up green?
Defined by prestige on the list of dean?
Get a rush of dopamine when I'm tagged in dope memes
Yet so insecure when there's not a shoulder on which to lean

What's it even mean to become a man of means
If i just end up living like a philistine
Check the speck in my eye need more than just visine
What is foreseen cannot be unseen

Use the pain to get swole for the gains protein
Pastry jawn for desserts the one filled with red bean
Letting go of the past becomes almost routine
But true healing means the divine must intervene

If only I hadn't been such a fool
Pretend to know it all without a damn clue
You told me you were once touched and I told you me too
To find a common ground on what we've been through

How we were taught love was not at all true
I only hoped you see it from a different point of view
And you can't blame yourself there was nothing you could do
Just don't ever let your feelings lie to you

Abused confused logic misconstrued
A recipe for darkness to ensue
Prelude elude conclude undo
In the midst of madness it was my heart you pursued

A soul so divided and torn in two
Your the secret place from reality I withdrew
No where id rather be than with you
I bring a broken hallelujah for you to make new

The only redeemer from all of my guilt
You tore down every wall that I have ever built
You dealt with every affliction that I had ever felt
Cuz the temple had to come down before it was rebuilt

Become more self aware, and seek out ut the one who cares
You don't have to wait a year to overcome your fears
He'll always be with you in some type of way I swear
Still Pray for you at night just keep me in your prayers

Trust in the LORD always and your true self you will find
Take all evil thoughts captive with your voice you can bind
Confess to him your sins and no longer are you blind
Give God the praise & glory with all your heart soul and mind

Each morning He reveals new mercies onto me
Choose your chains but by His only is how I am free
Here in your love and presence there's no place I’d rather be
Once this wretch was blind but in Christ now I see

That the prince of peace has brought me clarity and restore my heart to unity
And revealed that all my worries are mere opporutinies
To intercede to rid the world of promiscuity
And join my family in Christ to build a better community

Although Sin is our nature in Contiguity
His Grace is our faith in Continuity
Your name rids my heart of ambiguity
And brings us all together in Congruity

From death you granted us immunity
Bcuz children of God is our true identity
From stardust to dust then to infinity
Now nothing is impossible since He died for you and me

From death you granted us immunity
Bcuz children of God is our true identity
From stardust to dust then to infinity
Now He brings us to live with him in Eternity
