The Tests

Sometimes I get a feelin like Jesus that you forsaken me
Then you show greater than I was thinking to me
See I’m weak like a breathless runner
I’m living outside your covenant but still believe you comin
For the change over
No pain this urban soldier been mostly lately livin sober
Sleepless nights no throw up
I’m healthy to battle the wickedness that wants to shell me shut
But even when waves seem for certain to blow this boat away
I paddle through the stormy shadows
And learn from the test
That was set out to make me better
