      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      A Sobering Tale

      Jun 30, 2019

      I STARTED DRINKING AT 13. I was a rebellious child, always up to no good, wagging school constantly to smoke weed in the park. When I was given the opportunity to model at 14, it was a blessing. The industry instilled in me a responsibility — it was

      I'm Blessed - Shane O'Garro

      Publishing

      Introduction

      I gotta come back 

      I gotta get back 

      Backsliding is a joke 

      Because every time I wanna sin, I chock 

      Not by my choice, but by His grace 

      He set me in my place 

      If it was up to me, I would've kissed that girl 

      And destroyed my family

      That man I would've hurled 

      And destroyed my ministry 

      But it was by his mercy 

      My savior never destroyed me 

      Because I'm not physically perfect 

      This body, I done wrecked it 

      But it's this perfect soul 

      That's the only toll 

      I need to get into heaven 

      He Is

      I press forward to the mark 

      Tarrying for my time to get caught

      Never off by one point

      Put down that drink and joint 

      Pay attention !!! 

      Signs are showing His returning 

      So cast all those burdens 

      And live for his glory 

      So what, we all got a story 

      That don't mean nothing 

      He's still the King of all Kings 

      God of all Gods 

      And when He comes back, He's coming hard 

      All praises due to Him 

      The only one who could live without sin

      HE IS 

      Magnificent this, great that 

      Commander of all, that's a fact 

      Could raise you up or lay you out flat 

      The embodiment of Love, the whole act

      Wait wait I wanna tell why I love my God 

      Keep me straight when times were hard 

      Drop little sprinkles of miracles 

      When I wasn't living spiritual

      Keep me out of harms way

      Paid my bills when there was no money to pay 

      Gave me food when there was none 

      Saved my life when they wanted to use guns 

      I don't know where I'm going, but I know where I came from

      Drug dealers, pimps and those 

      Stolen cars, women & clothes

      Thugged down to the way I dress 

      In all rights, I was a mess 

      But He changed me 

      Then he clothe me 

      Then he blessed me 

      HE IS 

      Magnificent this, great that 

      Keeper of life, that's a fact 

      Led me without a map

      The embodiment of Love, the whole act

      He is 

      Why I live 

      Purpose for my kids 

      The mother I wish I had 

      My father who forgives when mad 

      The best friend who won't steal your girl

      The one who has in his hand the whole world 

      The one that comforts me 

      The king that crowns me 

      He keeps me from pestilence 

      The one who gives me an inheritance 

      The one I can talk with 

      In all truth the one I walk with

      The being of everlasting thought

      The one that knows my heart 

      The one that sets me right

      The keeper of everlasting life 

      HE IS 

      Magnificent this, great that 

      The only one that got my back

      The sole reason I don't need a strap

      The embodiment of Love, the whole act

      Sometimes

      Sometimes I look at my life

      sometimes I wonder if I am right

      Sometimes I question my existence

      and sometimes I am longing for your presence

      Sometimes I see the end

      sometimes I see all those who pretend

      Sometimes I feel tempted to my max

      and sometimes I feel like I’m trapped

      sometimes I work like a slave

      and still, my bills aren’t paid

      Sometimes I’m too stressed to care

      sometimes as strong as I am, I still fear 

      But sometimes I call on His name

      And I feel, maybe, then things won’t be the same

      And Sometimes I cry and pray

      Then I hope things work out better then I can say

      Sometimes my kids get to me

      Sometimes my wife test me

      by truly pushing me

      and sometimes I can’t take me

      Sometimes I fall

      Sometimes I’m so low, I can crawl

      Sometimes my job challenges my sanity

      and Sometimes there is no food in the pantry

      Sometimes I don’t see the light at the end

      Sometimes I don’t have enough money to lend

      Sometimes my gas light comes on

      and sometimes I don’t have a feel good song

      But sometimes I call on His name

      And then a little surer, knowing things won’t be the same

      And Sometimes I cry and pray

      Then I dream things will work out better then I can say

      Sometimes I go on my knees

      And then I see

      Sometimes I pray for me

      and then I know my destiny

      Sometimes the Holy Spirit fills me

      and then I feel He which is in me

      Sometimes I read his word

      and then I have the strength to fly like a bird

      Sometimes I taste and see

      and then I know He truly loves me

      Sometimes I have pain

      But then I think to how Jesus came

      and how he suffered his pain 

      So I may be free

      Sometimes I call on His name

      And I know things can’t be the same

      Sometimes I cry and pray

      Then I know, without a doubt, it will be better then I can say

      All I am saying

      that while the devil keeps playing

      and things aren’t working

      Just keep on Praying

      Dark Rooms Bright

      Pay my tithes on Sunday 

      Struggle to get through on Monday 

      Study His Word everyday 

      Because home is where I'm going someday 

      So I wrestle to
