Altered at the Altar
My patience was too short
My anger was too long
My mouth wouldn’t stay zipped
So words came out wrong
My pride needed to be tucked in
Forgiveness needed to be let out
My mind needed to be renewed
To restore my faith and rid my doubt
My temper was too high
My self-esteem was way too low
So I went to the altar
And God pulled out his needle an began to sew
He hemmed my anger
And gave me patience to endure
He fixed my zipper
Now all my words are righteous and pure
He cut off the extras
And made more room in my heart
Now I am not perfect
But I am defiantly set apart
So if your life is upside down
And you’re splitting at the seam
Go get altered at the altar
That’s where I found myself redeemed

Thank you so much for the kind words. I can tell that one of your gifts is encouragement.. after I read your emails I always feel like a Million bucks, Thank you so much. I have decided to walk the curb and stop looking at my feet, I am relying on God to lead me! Thanks for your Testimony, it will be a guide I intend to follow through out 2010!!!
Bravo! Absolutely fantastic!!!! You see, your voice is heard when you open your heart and mouth to SPEAK. Excellent work. Remember one step at a time is all it takes to get us to where we are going / supposed to be. Keep up the good work and celebrate WHO YOU ARE, who GOD created you to be, and the gifts that He has planted in you. You have value, meaning, and purpose--- so with that in mind, toss out the fear and self-doubt like old newspapers. I am clapping for you and with you.
