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
