O summer rain, can you tell me why the sky is gray? <br />Why would the Northern Wind cause a man like me for this? <br />I want to understand why some things don't go my way, <br />For I want to see visions beyond the silver bliss. <br /> <br />Should I really kiss the raindrops that fall on my skin? <br />Knowing that they represent the tears for every soul. <br />Or is doing a little selfish pleasure a sin? <br />Please let me accept by heart that God is in control. <br /> <br />Should I still say amen because there's a better will? <br />Glory is always acquired through sincere sacrifice. <br />And if my surrender is the only way uphill, <br />Then tell me, why should I even bother to think twice? <br /> <br />They say that this self is the hardest one to conquer <br />Because it is my own will that needs to be traded. <br />Now I ask my heart on what honor does it prefer, <br />Let me convince it to choose the one that is guided. <br /> <br />In my hands I hold everything I consider mine <br />And now I lay them all again in sure abandon. <br />So let the search for worldly pleasures start to decline <br />As my own yearnings on the altar I lay upon. <br /> <br />Because this is history, I’ve been with this before <br />And I feel it's time to have a new testimony. <br />This is life, in every step of faith there's something more, <br />I'll just focus to finish the narrow road's journey. <br /> <br />I know God loves me and some answers just have to wait, <br />All He wants to see is my faith to move this mountain. <br />So there's no need to do the pattern of this world's fate <br />Because I can hear Him... all I could say is amen.<br /><br />Obed dela Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/should-i-still-say-amen/
