I GOT YOUR NAME
I GOT YOUR NAME
When I met you, I knew you had more of your light to shine
We laughed together and knew we are of the same loving vine
Thank You for sharing this story of yours that has a very special message
One that not only gives others a place to relate but also a way of passage
In your bondage of being controlled and suppressed
You prepared the entertainment and dressed your best
Fulfilling the roll of expected behavior and hide your good
Even if it means that you are not understood
Maybe it was after the 2nd or 3rd time of being betrayed
That something triggered that the word that was not said
I would never do that to anyone --- surely, he can see this in me
That I am loyal and committed to help you see
Yet he continues to hit me and disapprove of me
I keep searching inside to see how I can change
Perhaps this is how I can control this rage
I swivel and toss around like a canoe in the ocean
The waves are high, and I ride the motion
Yet nothing changes… what else can I do?
Ok that is fine I will ride it out being real and showing I have no doubt
My love for him will certainly win
But to my surprise this is not his view
He planned it and discarded me I was through
Leaving me with nothing standing on the road
What do I do? I am shocked with this burden and heaving load
He took it all, the money and all we owned
Ok now what? where do I turn?
I let go and say I do not have to learn
I leave it to the Lord and say please take this turn
As I let go of trying to figure it out
Things came to me and I did not even shout
I trusted him to deliver me and that is what counts
Well my friend you made it through
In your bondage you developed so much talent of song
In what ever way you are strong
You are owning it in your new path of faith
And the world is ready to receive you it is not too late
