Ten – A Hint of Spiritual Confidence

Ten – A Hint of Spiritual Confidence

Ten leads almost to thirteen.

By now you realize I am not like any other man.

I stretch my arms in praise in the songs to Him I rise.

I got delivery, swagger, and skills.

Dropping dimes like loose change,

I stroll up into the red carpets like I always belonged

Stretching my arms to show the size of these shotguns.

My reputation comes up; please call me Captain Awesome.

I stand out in silent confidence blessed in the Spirit.

I spit game but quietly lead when the moment arrives.

Nothing shy, nothing holding me back, I strive

Beyond the luke warmness of a settled generation.

Climbing mountains, sprinting the spread of deserts,

Swimming oceans, and flying the skies,

I travel life journeys excelling past the human norm

Refusing to conform in the expectations of others.

I surround myself in the midst of His teachings

With guardian angels backed up in armies

Behind my back in revealed eyes seeing

The reality of this spiritual frontier to fight for eternity.

I exist in the awesomeness of One who lives  

In the power of Christ whose name I call

Where nothing conquers causing this man to fall.

Until my shoulders collapse I swing to the sky

Where no other can compare because of he

And the power of Christ that lives within me.

The Great Reward at the end of my race I will receive

In no false pretenses in the lies of the enemy.

I listen to the battle cry of dreams of my calling

And stand before with my knights in shining armor.

No fear shivers with adrenaline in my blood pumping

Because I sprint toward the fight to triumph

With victory inevitable in the strength I receive

In a prayer of faith I speak and believe into existence.

The power comes not because I doubt

But rather because I know the promises of His Word  

That waits in patience at the finish line

Where celebration for eternity expects my arrival.
