Lust be gone Miracles

 

You see how God did that?

 

Just as my want of you

Was starting to

Get all up in my spirit

 

Starting to make me crazy

All I did was call on Him

And a few of His servants

To help me eradicate

That demon called lust.

 

Was easier than taking a needle

From an unconscious crack head

Though Satan would have us common folks

Believe otherwise.

 

When He stepped in

All heads turned

And His presence was immediately

Perceived as the force it was

 

Even you wandered aloud,

“What the h…?”

And all I could do was laugh

Cause, yeah, this is the kind of God I serve.
