THE INTERRUPTION

WELL FRIENDS, I WAS WORKING ON A POST CALLED "EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL IT.... SAY IT," BUT THE AUTO-SAVE FEATURE ON THE SITE ACCIDENTALLY ERASED IT. I REMEMBERED MOST OF WHAT I HAD TYPED BUT GOD JUST WOULDN'T LET ME REWRITE IT SO I GUESS THAT POST WAS JUST FOR ME AND MY TIME TO ENCOURAGE MYSELF. IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THAT HE GAVE ME A POEM. THE INSPIRATION CAME FROM AN ORIGINAL SONG BY MY MULTI-TALENTED, GIFTED AND HIGHLY ANOINTED FRIEND TYRONE. THE SONG IS CALLED FADE ME AWAY AND IT'S HIS PERSONAL TESTIMONY. DAYS AFTER I HEARD THE SONG IT KEPT RINGING OVER AND OVER IN MY SPIRIT.. I TOLD HIM I HAD A MEGAMIX OF HIS SONGS PLAYING IN MY HEAD. SO THAT BECAME MY PRAYER FROM THAT NIGHT FORWARD. FADE ME AWAY GOD... FADE ME AWAY...


AS I CONTINUED TO PRAY AND SING THIS SONG TO THE LORD, WORDS JUST BEGAN TO FLOOD.. SO HERE GOES...


INVISIBLE
Make me invisible God
So that no one can see the uncertain mess that is me
Strip away this flesh and the sin within
Peel back the layers… and the layers… and the layers
Of tough skin
Built up by years of hidden hurt, swallowed tears and choked back fears
Fade me away Jesus
So I can stop cutting myself with fragmented pieces of my dreams.
Lost in where I am and who I should be
What you’re calling me to and
All of the devil’s lies, UNTRUE!
Erase me
From this destitute place
As my image transforms
From familiar to your face
No more pieces of pieces and parts of the whole
Speak a word directly to my soul
Blot me out Lord
Release the rivers from the wellspring lying hidden deep within
My words are no longer my own and my actions have changed
I’ve basked in your presence,
Been molded, shaped and totally rearranged
Make me invisible God, make me
Invisible
