Stand AgainA Poem by Shay ReneeThis is to inspire people to just hold on.
Called, anointed and appointed is what they say I am
But when I’m here searching for a helping hand
In a dry and barren land
What am I to do because I can’t stand?
The bible says, Stand therefore
But what about those many doors
Closed in my face
No one there to embrace
Past hard to just erase Do I still just celebrate?
Lack consuming my life
Not enough money to suffice
Don’t know which way is right
Or left
Still trying to do my best
But still encircled by this mess
Heard God was more than enough
But I can’t feel his touch
Said joy will come in the morning
But I’m tired of enduring
Cold nights, bitter moons
Oppression starting to consume
Every bit of my walk with thee
No one said it would be easy
But then the Holy Ghost stirs within me
Putting me to ease
Yes the Lord does see
Your tribulations and trials been surrounding you for awhile
But rise and stand my child
I have all power and dominion
Over Satan and his kingdom
And I know what you can bare
Because I’ve been standing right here
I’m putting you through this fire, but your coming out gold
Putting away the old
Your nights may seem cold
But I am the beginning and the end
I’m closer than you think, I’m your friend
I’m your Jehovah Jirah
I’ll fulfill all of your desires
I’ve bought you out of muck and mire, before
I’m opening new doors
Stand my child, don’t be afraid
Because I’ve given you power and you’re being made
Stand my child, stand again
Because this battle is not yours, it’s mines to win!
