An Honest Heart

An Honest Heart

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

I feel like I'm surrounded with darkness.

I feel too drained to deal with this.

I feel too weak to fight, so sick of wrong to do what's right.

I'm so annoyed with self pity

I have no sympathy.

You said I'm spoken for.

But I feel I'm bleeding, too broken for

You to work

In the midst of my hurt.

But I guess you spilled Your blood for the spilling of my tears,

To sprout faith from the dirt of my fears,

To soften my heart so I can care..

Again,

To gravitate gratitude back so I can win.

Your will be done so

Let my life speak loud

To point a..crowd

Back to you,

Jesus.

Save us.

No Diamonds For Dollas

No Diamonds For Dollas

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

You wouldn't sell a diamond for a dolla

So why sell yourself short?

You are fearfully and wonderfully made,

Worth more than bait and gettin' laid.

How 'bout you trade that?

Say you already prayed that..

You know He paid that.

But you ain't puttin' your feet to your mouth.

You ain't goin' nowhere but south.

Your doing nothing to -

Get out.

But girl, I know He'll see you through.

He never stopped loving you.

He never leaves His child,

Yep.

I'm talkin' to -

 You.

So keep your standards high -

And your pride down low

Instead of tryna drop it down onto-that pole.

Shawty, you're worth more than that.

More than gettin'-your-wallet-fat,

Your lies to facts.

But I know He'll see you through.

He never stopped loving you.

He never leaves His child.

Not even the mild -

Mannered ones.

Not even the wild,

Son.

What about that

Max -

Umm man?

You're supposed to be reppin' your spirit man,

But holdin' her hand

Ain't enough.

So you can't contain your stuff.

You get too pushy.

You start gettin' rough.

Don't you know you're worth more than cuffs

I ain't just talkin 'bout the cops

Or workin' your life away.

I'm talkin' 'bout the other way -

Slavery -

Sin.

Slavery to sin.

You're choosing the devil ova Him

And that being said,

You ain't gonna

Win

When you end up

Dead.



Calm The Wave

Calm The Wave

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

For I am convinced

God restores..

Relationships.

I've seen it with my very eyes.

When it seemed hopeless my life was filled with..

A lot of why's.

We ain't blameless.

Yet we point fingers to make us..

Famous.

We say everybody is doing this and that.

I do this too as a matter of fact.

Well boy,

It's wack.

Pointing out the specks..

Defects..

In other's eyes

While we have a plank in ours..

No lie.

Our grace isn't like the ocean.

It's dry.

Take the time..

To better yourself.

Take the Word of God off your dusty shelf.

Spit the Spirit.

Spit and make mud.

Study that scripture.

Study..

Abroad.

God ain't limited.

Anyone's..

Selected.

Love's represented.

He directed..

To forgive others 'cause He forgave..

You.

Calm that wave 'cause He never doubted..

You.


Perfectly Imperfect

Perfectly Imperfect

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

I'm perfectly imperfect and in the process of being perfected.

I'm open to my imperfections being..

Corrected

And my pathway being..

Directed..

By God,

The One who sees me

For me.

So I will not let those..lies

Cause me to..

Subside.

I choose not to listen when others put me down.

I'll run this race with endurance.

I'll get my crown.

I'll endure without becoming..weak

Because my mindset is on being meek.

I'm listening to the voice of..truth

Because His life of humility

Was living proof.

I choose to respond to immaturity..

With..humility.

I will admit I'm wrong even when I am not.

Repaying evil for evil will not be the plot.

Instead I choose to put..it

 In the hands of the blame-less

Where He seals..

It

With a holy..

Kiss.

Change ME first, Father.

Be the..

Blotter of my sins.

For how can I look at the speck in..

Other's

When I'm right there with them?



Enter In

Enter In

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

I've walked this life coming so close to calling it quits,

Many times, many reasons, much pain.

What kept me going was knowing

He loves me more than ALL the grains..

Of sand.

Plucked me out of death's grip with His own hand.

What makes this time any different than before?

He never stopped knocking on my door.

So when the days are great..

And when the days are tough

Enter in.

When my life receives hate..

And when works aren't enough

Enter in.

Grace enter in.

Hope enter in.

Peace enter in.

Love enter in.

Jesus enter in.
