Dear God, I’m feeling some type of way

please excuse, I’m stumbling over my words trying to figure out what to say

As a man I’m feeling used and abused

I’m tired of this and that, please just tell me what to do

I know what your word says it means not to just be a man but a man of God

As a man I feel like its raining, not water, but dirt clods

I’m to love sacrificially the way Jesus did

But how can I? When all I do is treated like it’s mid

You’ve saved me from so much in my life

The least I can do is hold it down from time to time

As a man it can be hard to bend a knee and concede, and say “Lord I need help”

Like a sucker, a fool, and weakling is how I’ve felt

You told me that feelings are fickle, and in them I can’t trust

Good God, I know you’re right. being led by my feelings can lead me to self-destruct

As a man how do I compete for unconditional love?

Especially since its said that it’s reserved for kids, women, and dogs

I feel alone walking in a world of monochrome, no color

Men are to love, provide, and protect, but where is the love for your brother

Here I am as a man indulging in self worship, “whoa is me”

But here comes Jesus removing the scales from my eyes, so I can see

He says to me “You can handle this son, because I’ve built you like that”

“Take my hand child, have faith and believe watch how you bounce right back”

“Nothing is too big or too small to accomplish when you lean on me”

“Be still, pray, and call on Elohim”

As a man I am limited in what I can achieve

But in God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit I heartily believe

So forget these worldly feelings telling me leave because I can

I accept and receive my calling, responsibility, and birthright

AS A MAN.
