The Rock

The Rock

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

He is mighty to save this slave to sin.

Out of the love displayed hope started running deep from within.

Oh how I long to be a servant of Him.

Let me tell you it was a dreadful day.

I sought shelter against the wall in a helpless way..

With nowhere to run.

Then a bold, gentle voice decided to speak up.

"Those without sin cast the first stone,"

He spoke.

I was curled on the floor of the earth..

Covered in dirt

When I heard the rocks drop.

One by one.

THUD. THUD. THUD.

I glanced up

And saw His hand stretched out.

"Go and sin no more,"

He exclaimed in a non-judgmental way.

He gave me grace.

 Now how could I let the rocks cry out..in my place!?

The only one..who had a right to throw those stones

Gave me grace!

Conniving Condemnation

Conniving Condemnation

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

Come to me,

Lay at my feet.

I have overcome what he had meant to defeat.

I was broken so you would be made whole,

Emptied so that you may be full.

My voice whispers of love.

The devil's voice screams of condemnation,

Overbearing expectation,

Arrogant anticipation of..

Perfection

While I gave correction it wasn't meant as rules,

But direction..
To do an inspection of your heart.

Let me warn you of that heart.

"OBJECTION! Order in the court,"

It cries,

"It doesn't feel good so I must be listening to somebody's lies"

But my child, that's a lie to try to satisfy your flesh, gratify
While we work past your stress..

But it's a test for things to come

Because soon, my child, you'll be coming home.

So hang to this grace I gave to you.

You thought I was finished, but I'm not done with you.

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.
