My Purpose Is Greater Than My Fight

Before time was time, God had me on his mind
Shaped and formed me with words to give the world a sign
His word is law like a judge with a gavel
But what happens when my life is like a thread being unraveled?
When I wanted to throw in the towel because the fight got hard
People saw my black eye and said I let down my guard
I had to roll with the punches, sought my trainer for the strategy
Spectators thought I was down for the count, what a tragedy
While I was down and out, my name was in everyone’s mouth
But when I began to get back up, people still wanted to knock me out
Mind games being played, at war with my brain
What do I look like being saved but insane?
I’ll stay in my lane, until God says I can change
I dance in spite of my circumstance and they look at me strange
But I look at you strange because why wouldn’t I praise Him until my change comes?
I walk this one out because it’s by the words of my testimony that I overcome
I know you wanted me to stay in the tomb and live in lo debar
The King has need of me even while living with these scars
Get a good look at me, go ahead and laugh
My God is a keeper even in the aftermath
You’ll look at me and wonder, “Girl, who are you?”
But baby I’m brand new, so I don’t look like what I’m going through!
That devil should’ve taken me out while he had the opportunity
He couldn’t cross the bloodline because God granted me immunity
So loose me and let me go, I’ve been planted its time to grow
I’m walking in the overflow; darkness wanted me, but watch me glow
I’m in surgery as God removes me from me, just so you know
What I went through once before? Now peace has become my status quo
My purpose is greater than my fight; therefore, though the fight will still come
Because I keep my eyes on the Christ, what I behold is what I become!
