Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants trap
sunlight to produce oxygen and energy.
Well, that was totally unnecessary.
Truth is, I’m nervous.
I know. I’m not supposed to show it
but I really am.
Mind swirling, heart beating, palm sweating
I’m nervous, and who wouldn’t be?
Standing on the brink of options. Variety.
A thousand things to do.
A million ways to choose.
All seeking validation, recognition,
a beautiful title for my tomb.
See, I, like you, want my eulogy to testify
“I was here too”
So I’m nervous,
About this thing called life
and since You left me here to discover purpose
I’ve been wandering..
Wondering, what can I do!!??
Options.. Options.. Options
Ministry or Education?
Talent or Profession?
I don’t want to fail. God! I want to make to a positive change.
“Daughter, get saved”
Oh, you mean secure my way back to heaven through Jesus?
Done!. I’m in. What part of the world can I touch now?
“Get close”
Okay, so fast and pray
fellowship and wait
Get cleansed by the water and the word.
I’m clean now. How can I make a difference?
“Be transformed”
Really?, you’re mistaken,
I’m not even thinking about sin no more
I’m all about expanding the Kingdom.
Preaching and teaching like Billy
Making music all so holy
And well, if it comes with my face on a billboard
I’ll pose with all the other ministers like “Heey, I’m famous”
Renew your mind.
From systems that are permissible, not beneficial.
From skewed concepts of family, love, feminism..
You’re preaching prosperity yet stingy with your tithe
Great at church, terrible at home,
A lot of business investments, nothing for beggars
You must realize,
That to make any positive change,
You need to look like Me.
To be transformed is to know My mind
My view.
My story, written to the world through your body.
With your senses, I want the world to
Touch my Son,
Smell my fragrance,
See my power,
Hear my Word,
Taste my love.
Like a plant,
I want you to catch my Son’s light
to give hope, .. oxygen to my lost, dying child.
Wait a minute,
Yeah!!!….. Photosynthesize!!!
Say Yes with your entire life.
Because for me,
whether you’re a lawyer or street hawker,
minister or father
fair or dark
If your life doesn’t attract sinners to the cross of Jesus,
It makes no difference at all.
be transformed. Totally.
