LAMENTATION

What do I do to again please the God of HEAVEN?

I can’t believe my strong faith has been preyed upon by a RAVEN,

Oh! How glorious it was in two thousand and ELEVEN,

Then, I wouldn’t take a second look no matter how beautiful the MAIDEN.

Day shall come when I’ll give account for my life, this fact is CERTAIN,

I pray revival comes before then lest I end up FORSAKEN,

I should overcome the world, but isn’t it funny how life’s cares got me SHAKEN?

Now it’s like I never received God, even the wicked freaks out by some offers I’ve TAKEN.

I’m quite familiar with job’s story, but when trials came I couldn’t draw a thing or two from that LESSON,

Instead I doubted the Lord and almost succumbed to a wife’s SUGGESTION,

Filled with the fruits of my own ways, & wrong deeds have my soul to THREATEN,

My spirit wears out by thoughts of the possibilities of getting my crooked ways to again STRAIGHTEN.

Instead of miracles, I deliberate on the performance of the magic acts of RAIDEN,

The impact of my separation from the Lord is like the weight of a heavy LADEN,

If my spirit could shed tears, my tears would fill a BASIN,

I’m sick of this misery, can someone tell me what to do for the lion in me to AWAKEN.
