HEARTBEAT

WORTHLESS

I feel worthless
Many look at me and think
that I am worthless
I don't quite fit in
I don't follow all the rules

I worship
The Spirit "hits" and I'm
"down for the count"
What will they do with the body?
Some pull on my ear, my arms ~~ shake my legs
Some push me under the pew or place me up on a chair
What can they do?
It just doesn't look proper

The music starts
My heart begins to sing
I'm caught up
IN
HIS PRESENCE
He gets "PUSHY"
I'm down again!
There's no way to half-worship
What will they do with me now?

I'm given Words
by
GOD
to speak

I ask
for an appointment . . .
“there's no time . . . too busy
you don't dress right . . . where's your husband? . . . does he know you're doing this?
how do you know GOD speaks to you? . . . how can you speak GOD'S words?
You're not perfect!”

They call me "Sweetheart" and smile
But I give them the Words
and they call me "Jezebel"
and cast me out!

Am I really worthless, GOD?
How do You
see me?

I hurt!
I want to run and hide!
I want off this planet earth!
I have no worth to others
I have no reason to stay
But You say
the work must be done
I'll stay . . .
but
GOD
will You
HOLD ME
and
take the hurt away?

I ask
for Your
PRESENCE

I ask
to do Your Will
and then it happens
all over again!

***
CHILD, YOU MUST STAY
YOU MUST FINISH THE MISSION
BUT YOU WILL STAY BY MY SIDE
UNTO ME ALONE!
I WILL PULL YOU
OUT
OF THE CHURCHES
AWAY FROM THOSE
WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND
YOUR CALLING

CHILD, COME AWAY WITH ME!
COME - COME - COME!!!
I WILL NOT CAST YOU OUT!

*
Thanks, GOD!
