I Represent The Resurrection…
They laid my Lord in this room that was supposed to be his tomb… He Got Up! I Represent The Resurrection… My people died by the Million on those Death Ships… Yet here we are Today ,Growing Stronger afraid no longer… I Represent The Resurrection… Calvary was only the beginning not the ending. That Precious Savior Blood, that Sign of the Cross, those Seven Last Words that he uttered from his lips were also spoken on those death ships… Spoken by those who jumped overboard, by those who were forced to stay on board, spoken in Their Native Tongue. TERRY IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WAITING TO EXHALE…
HANDS of FATE is forever turning…. Up/ Down, Open/Closed/ Freedom/ Chains, Love/Hate… I FOUND MYSELF LOOKING FOR MYSELF because the only way to stay out of trouble was to build myself a spiritual glass bubble… Took a deep breath… Got a lot of things I needed off my chest… I UNDERSTAND just like many of you the agony of losing someone close to you… I lost my Mother, Father, a Sister and two brothers…
Just like many of you I screamed to GOD and at GOD for my lack of UNDERSTANDING of DIVINE PLANNING… Then these words came to me through my bones, COMPELLING ME to share them with you: TRUST GOD TO SEE YOU THROUGH… GOD KNOWS, GOD HEARS, GOD CARES… Full lips, Ebony, Sable, skin…NIGHT FACE it is not your hair texture or color variations that make you so BEAUTIFUL…
The beauty that is within you, dictates the beauty that is outside of you… NIGHT FACE… They gave you a complex about your skin color, about your hair, about your race, and you carried it like it was a heavy chain that only brought you shame… NIGHT FACE… Their standards of beauty should not affect you because you have always been beautiful too… You have always been beautiful with your deep dark complexion, brown skin, which is the envy of many… The fullness, richness of your hair and skin stands out in any crowd… NIGHT FACE the word nigger, nappy head were only devised to take away your pride and make you feel that your beauty is not real… NIGHT FACE… Next time someone criticizes you about your NATURAL BEAUTY, please don’t feel shame for you are obviously dealing with someone who has a small and shallow brain… Your beauty is rich like the NILE; No one can match your tantalizing style… NIGHT FACE when I think of you, I think of beauty and grace… |
