HE IS REAL!

real real real real real

your version is walls, structures, and lies

your version is harsh, demanding, impersonal

your version sucks

it's not real, it's merely reality

HE IS REAL

I'll show you what I mean by relationship

you say it's fluff

well I'll be the first one to tell you that it is anything but

"she sees bubbles, fluffy, and friendship"

who is she?

I'M SITTING RIGHT HERE

I'll get in your face of dominance and tell you that my relationship doesn't involve that bullshit

you say fluff, I say FIRE

because I KNOW FIRE!

I have seen it and walked through it

walk through it with me and see if you call it fluff

better yet, walk through it with God and see if you call if fluff

Bubbles... BUBBLES? ARE YOU FOR REAL CALLING MY BATTLES BUBBLY?

I'll show you a real war soldier

the war He fought for my life

the war He continues to fight for my life

the war He fights for your life

you say you know war

that you've seen death

that you've shot that gun

well I wasn't standing there at the foot of the cross

and I'm not gonna pretend that I know all the details

but I know what He died for when He died for me

I know what He wants from my life because He speaks

HE SPEAKS

You've never heard His voice?

You try to turn it off during worship?

because it's fake?

because we want to be comfortable?

because we want to be independent?

You think I made this shit up?

You pick out portions of the bible and tell me you believe

yet look me in the eye and say who am I to talk to the Alpha and Omega;

that I am just a woman and think mighty of myself to believe that He speaks and guides me?

He doesn't just speak brother

He sings

HE SHOUTS

He cries

He dances

He fights

He dies

with me

at me

for me

EVERYDAY

I'll show you what's real

You make me sick

You make me want to punch you in the face

Yet I want to cry

because you don't accept your inheritance

you don't know grace as anything more than a word

you compare The Almighty to the world

and He cries with me

and at the end of the night

I know that I love you

because He loves you

because whether you believe me or not, you are a child of God

You are loved

and He wants to speak to you

so tomorrow

or the next time we go to the beach

or at the next BBQ

I will speak to you again

and we might fight again

but maybe we won't

and maybe you'll see more than

bubbles

fluff

and friendship

because you'll listen to me

you'll hear my story

you'll hear the truth

and most importantly

you'll hear the voice of the Alpha and Omega

the one who I am not worthy to talk to

and the thing is

you are right about that

but He's gonna talk to me anyway

and so I'm gonna talk to you anyway

because I used to be

just

like

you

and back when fluff, bubbles, and friendship was impossible to believe in

someone loved me enough to fight back

and He graced me with His voice

and loved me

so I will pray for you

because even though you don't believe me

sometimes prayer

is enough.
