Living Proof


Living Proof, Matthew Haflett: Poetry

Watch me rise Above the tide The ocean can't hold me I've been brought low

As far as you can go

So the world can't scold me

It's not about me But I've been set free

Someone needs to hear this I've been riddled with fear

But then God came near How is it that I'm now fearless?

Life's taken a turn Now I feel a burn I'm telling y'all I'm all in

I try to walk close Led by the Holy Ghost There's not a hole I can fall in

When I'm burdened with strife He gives me new life

He gives me new breath everyday But then I'll feel his love One that's sent from above And it takes my breath away

Faiths an unending fountain

An immovable mountain A force that keeps me from crossing the line The devil might trip I might slip But God dusts me off every time

The devil might laugh But then I do the math He doesn't have much longer to see red Let him smirk Watch God work

Soon he'll bring the world down on top of his head

I was alone in a room When I heard of the empty tomb That I'm still alive is beyond improbable So this is a shout To all those who doubt I'm proof that with God nothing is impossible
