This is a confession of sorts. A story.. It is part of my "Spoken Word" works... |
I am here to tell you a story of something that happened, And yes, I took part in it, huh I even led it No I am not proud of what I did, But this story has to be told, I have to get this off my chest! So please! Lend me your ears and pay close attention!!! There are many things in my life I have done that I am not proud of: I have been filled with anger, hate and deceit, And yes, I've even been filled with pervisions But I have only been broken, by one thing... You see these hands, these hands have shed the blood of an innocent man Sin I was proud to call mine own Made a very special whip, to rip the flesh from his bones Drink it up! Toke it up! Party it up! Do what you gotta do to kill the pain inside I thought, as I tore into his body with thirty-nine stripes I just don't need your way! Who are you?! Who is He?! This self proclaimed King!!! I got my ways! My daze! I don't need salvation! I don't need to be reborn!!! I screamed, as I crowned Him with thorns!!! Spit upon and ripped the beard from his face In the midst of this, something sinister happened And I knew in that moment! That something evil, something darker than a thousand midnights Crawled into my heart,and I was going to take a life... See, I led a blood-filled, hate- filled, selfish mob And yelled out! Crucify! Crucify! Cruci- LET ME LIVE MY OWN LIFE!! Then upon his bloodied and broken body I placed a tree Led HIM up a hill called Calvary Where my anger, my hate, turned into something more evil And I drove three nails through HIS hands and feet All the while mocking HIS NAME I lifted up that tree for all the world to see Trying to put HIM to an open shame There you go O' KING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I laughed SAVE YOURSELF NOT ME!!! And I was proud of my work to see! As He hung there, bleeding As He hung there, dying I grinned, O' so happily Then out of nowhere, As HE hung there, Something not so funny happened It was like I couldn't breathe The air kept disappearing, and my sin began to squeeze Then I dropped my head as I fell to my knees When I looked up, it was like for the first time I could see And what I saw wasn't funny or exciting It was mine own iniquity! And it was down right disgusting!!! Tears started forming, and my heart started pounding I tried to look away and run But in a moment of time A light hit the sky as His eyes met mine HE said, as HE drew HIS last breath, "IT IS FINISHED." See, there are many things in my life I have done, that I am not proud of I have been filled with anger, hate and deceit And yes, I have even been filled with perversions But I have only been broken By this one thing, I, with mine own two hands CRUCIFIED MY KING... |
