Thirty One Five: 2022 Edition

As usual, I write raps for my #ThirtyOneFive. Please see the lyrics below

Authentic abilities 
Automatic amo
Amplifying audio 
And Adonai also
Aliterate
A little late
Appreciate
What’s on my plate
Chopping up the beef
That means to spread love, no room for hate
No debate
Express myself freely, don’t pontificate
Humility is rising up 
Another year to elevate
(Yeah)
Been rapping and rolling and roving and roaming
Call home, cuz I know Him
Call home, cuz I flow with
and kneel before Him

Not strong like Hercules
But God made us a masterpiece
So Master please, close Hades
Cuz some got a piece just to ask for peace
Some got questions, answer please
Some need healing from disease
Money trouble on the double plus fees
Struggling with this gas increase

That means me
Cuz life be testing me
Vexing me
Stressing me
Perplexing me
But still, He sees the best in me
And invests in me
Like Mayberry
Taste and see He’s savoury
Bread of Life, no bakery 
Transformer like Bumblebee

Another birthday with mercies that are new
And I’m grateful for everything You do
So on this special day, I praise You

Thank You for #ThirtyOneFive
With everything l am, and all l have to bring
My head, my heart, my hands, and every song I sing
Use me, Abba Father, as You see fit

My gift is #ThirtyOneFive

Got God in my vision, I don’t need to wonder (Wanda)
So tell the witches and warlocks that I’m not going under
Might seem strange, but like Thor, you know I’ll bring the thunder
He gives me power, like vibranium
Wakanda forever
I know, I got it, I get it, in weakness
He’s strongest
I’m locked in 
I’m here now,
Like twist outs
Go call the stylist
Right turns and fast lanes
Up and down, like sine waves
Fixing lenses like concaves
One thing’s for certain though
Jesus saves!

Because mere mortals can go silent like the “k” in knife
Because relapses got me thinking ‘bout the afterlife
I know need to grow, but acrophobic like I’m scared of heights
Still, the Holy Spirit reassures me that I’ll be alright
This crooked life is so stained but sustained by God’s own hand
So no matter what the future throws, I’ll eat like Raisin Bran
False promises? No! On the Solid Rock, I’ll stand
And every other floor gets me low
It’s sinking sand 

Another birthday with mercies that are new
And I’m grateful for everything You do
So on this special day, I praise You

Thank You for #ThirtyOneFive
With everything l am, and all l have to bring
My head, my heart, my hands, and every song I sing
Use me, Abba Father, as You see fit

My gift is #ThirtyOneFive
