And the cycle goes again...
Typical story of
A good man
Giving God glory
He's a God fearing man
Perfect husband
Excellent pops and he finally received that raise...
Cash in the bank!
Yeah, they were saving up
He and his wifey been fussing
It's time for making up
The recessions been digging in you
It's been really rough
But he believes his change is here to stay
It was a Thursday night, April first
He's sitting there in traffic on his way home from work
He checks his voicemail it's his mother
She's got multiple lumps in her breast and they hurt
She wants him to pray that it's not cancerous
Broke the news to your daddy and he's takin it the worst
Cause honestly she knew for many years
But she didn't want the family to panic over her
So he prays:
"God save her, Lord I know that you are able
I'm lifting up my heart to You in prayer
You're a Healer You're the Savior, So save her
So he goes to call the boo to tell her all that happened and to let her know the news
It's looking like it's 6: 22
She should be whipping up the dinner
Got the kiddies home from school
But every time he calls it goes straight to her voicemail
"Just leave your number
And I'll get right back to you"
He thinks nothing of it and he cruises the rest of the way trying to clear his mind
He pulls into the house
He's so unfocused
Walks right in he's wondering "why was the front door wide open? "
Goes to the living room
There's two men holding guns to his family's face: his wife
His youngest and his oldest
They yelling "get the money
Hit the floor man! "
He pulls the money out he kneels down and says
"Just go, man! "
The robber kneels down to get the dough
And forgets his fingers on the trigger
And he accidentally blows and [gunshot]
Jesus, can You even see us?
I gave You all of me because I thought You could protect us
Lead us and direct us
But you can't even keep us safe from violence and diseases
I'm really wanting to believe in You
But I need a reason to trust You after this one...
Because You let me down, because You let me down
Then God says
I am the Lord your God
There's majesty and splendor round about Me
It's very sad, but true
That very often your faith fails you and you doubt Me
Woe oh oh
But I'm so sovereign and above
I give you power to believe you're all in control
But I'm SUPER!
And I'm set to show Myself so strong in a realm of the living that leaves the whole world In a stupor
And by the way I caused the bullet shot to ricochet right back into the shooter!
