Permission Granted

















I don’t need your permission so why do I seek your consent?
Do I still need your acceptance just so my soul can be content?
When your clearance of my actions won’t give me an endorsement
My heavenly blessing has been sanctioned by the power of agreement 
You can’t authorize, deputize, legitimatize, anything I am called to do
This will be the very last day that I bow down and seek permission from you
There is no stamp of approval needed to make me seem more real
For there is one who crowned my head and upon me is His seal
Fearfully and wonderfully free to be what He has called me to be
Nothing others have said and done can take this truth of my destiny
So I remove the power of authority that I continue to give away
Walking strong in my design without apology every day
That outrageous lie that I must submit and remember the days of slavery
Where I was bound by chains that denied the very Creator inside of me
I am proud! I say it loud! To every crowd!
I AM Me!
So I take back my banner request for you to tell me it’s ok
The only voice that really matters is the one when I pray
He says… Be who you were called to be
Do the things you were called to do
Live the life you were meant to live
Just align with my design, stay in time, and remember you are mine
And please stop asking for continual permission.

Amen  Charmaine Hinds
