Analysis of EVERyDAY
Will you live for God everyday, or just when things aren't going your way?
You call on him in times of trouble expecting for him to come on the double when it seems like somebody's going to burst your bubble. Expecting Him to come in and be your friend but then you go right back to living in sin.
I give my life to you, show me what to do, seems like I'm in need, but most of all I need to be freed.
I'm in the bondage of the devil, the playing field doesn't seem level. I need you to set me free so that I can be the me that you want me to be, I give my life to you, to you I want to be true, surely you have a plan for me, that will give me security. I give my hands to you, Lord tell me what to do.
People come to try to lead me the wrong way, they say they pray, but they use me in the worst way, trying to manipulate and run funny games, throwing shade and casting blames, trying to make me think that the problem is me, to break me down to insanity, but their evil plans will not succeed, because in Christ I have been freed.
Lord I give my hands to you, come in and show me what to do. I give my hands to you Jesus show me what to do.
Deliver me from the people that come in to confuse me, to use me and abuse me, and then they lose me, but at the same time I don't want to be alone, I want people who love me to call on the phone, but it rang and it was the enemy not leaving me alone.
Lord I give my life to you, show me what to do. Bless my being real to be like it's no big deal, bless me to draw the right people, bless me to have appeal. Help me to say my words right, so I don't feel uptight, and speak in a way that edifies you, instead of those bad words that don't glorify you.
I give my hands to you, I want to be of used by you, complete the work that you've done in me, so that I will be free. I'm trying to draw close so that I can stay true, I give my hands to you. I give my heart to you, I give my mind to you, I give my spirit to you, I give my soul to you and my body too. Give me wisdom, Lord give me wisdom.

About this poem
This poem hopefully is inspirational. It is about circumstances that I think many people can relate to even if they do not consider themselves Christians.
