WE TESTED POSITIVE

 I.
Tested positive for having faith in God
When it wasn't easy and things were rough
Went under the waves
And came through the storms
Went through the fire
And grevious burns
But I—
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

II.
I tested positive for having doubts
So many times when I cried out loud
Tears in the pillow, asking why 
Why the pain, Lord haven't I tried?
Why are things so freaking hard?!
Are you mean because I've been bad?
Everytime I just feel sad
Like you mixed my bread with sand
But I—
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

III.
Things were silent in the storm
The world watched as I beat the walls
Locked in, no one to help me out
I'm screaming loud without a sound
Wasn't chained, but I was bound
To worrying for God to come through
I understood when the tides turned
He was there all along
But those days were long and dark
And I—
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

IV.
I heard from a friend who heard from a friend 
This kind of faith is highly contagious
Like a virus, it's going to spread
She breathes, her joy infectious
You're going to hear from her
Because she just—
Tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

V.
I always had these negative thoughts in my head
And every night when I lay in bed
Why do I have to be the one wishing I was dead
'Cause nobody always cared
And life has always been so unfair
But I,
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

VI.
Many times when I felt sad, rejected and lonely,
Times when I felt I was failing and losing myself—
But He has been the only one there for me
Directed wonderful people to my side,
Times when I cried and had no one to lean on
He gave me reasons why I should hold on,
Hold on to life 
And gave me hope that sad phases in my life won't go on and on.
Cause I—
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last!

VII.
Always keeping my faith in Him from now on
And He'll always guide me, forevermore
Now here's my part after hearing from a friend
Another one He directed to me!
And we just—
Tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last!
We just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last!

THE SONG OF TES

 Dear woman with a beautiful soul What is it that ails you so? I've searched for you in far places Are you passing through some difficult stages? She said: It's a long story I hardly can tell But the road is long, said I, please do tell Last time I saw you, I could tell There was something wrong, so pray tell And she uttered to me a parable You see, I went hunting with a friend To better our chances, we hunted the same Indeed, we were fair hunters of game. But things took a turn for the worse I thought we were friends, whatever that was She left the hunt and turned on me Left the hunt and turned on me Took the gun and turned on me Used as bait, she turned on me I became the hunted, it dawned on me.. My heart was full, it nearly burst! My soul was grieved, it nearly burst! Overflowing with pain, I nearly burst! So I stayed away from Mount Zion Finding solace in a dark room God sees my heart, he knows I'm mad I'll stay away, my heart is bad. And I stayed away for two whol...

A PLACE

We all need a place, where we can be less perfect  Bottle our insecurities, and let it out in private Dine with our doubts and pick bones with faith It can be a person, it can be a place  It can be something we'll never do again. It could be healing, it could be coping  It could be something to help you keep moving  Life is a lesson, and people are blankets  Life is transient, and memories are strength Life is transient, and memories are strength. Like a plastic bag I kept some messy things  On the outside, it was fine But inside was less pleasant  Messy, not dirty, but serving a purpose  To keep my environment clean And help arrange my thoughts as I cleaned: Resented the baggage, but it grew on me And I came to realize its usefulness  We all need a place we can be less perfect  To figure out our weaknesses or find our strengths—   It's okay if we're lonely along the way  Or weak by ourselves when we can't find help Life is a l...
