I love this song. It's by the Christian hip-hop artist, S.O. (Seun Otukpe). And yes people, I listen to Christian hip-hop. I'm sure that many have their reservations about it. But hey, God isn't partial to who or how He chooses to get the Good News Gospel out, so why should I be ? So take a listen...a good listen...meaning listen past the beats/rhythms but to the message.

Verse 1:
Uh, here goes an odd moment when my heart bleeds, pen cries/Tears rest on my eyes, proceed to accept signs/speak and not let slide/decrease and detect sighs/Cease and accept I, its time/(I tell myself this) Over months I was struggling trying to love Him/Paying a high price but thinking that I could budget/Wanted I had to covet/Lusting and try to ruffle in/Who would have thought that depression would keep coming in/A suicide mother didn’t know either/That other side just let me go deeper/And so you get the message, I’ll put it in perspective/I was waking up at night asking am I still elected/Or rather was I ever, wanting to die since that’s better than living life as a hostage in time/Am I crossing the line?/Here’s some thoughts in my mind/This the lowest that I’ve been caught up in a rhyme/
Chorus:
I get low
I get high/
But I keep my hands to the sky/
I won’t break down, not this time/
But I keep on running, even through the lows and high/
Hold me God, pull me close and show Your nigh (x2)/
My lows and high
Verse 2:
I’m sitting talking to Stephen about the days when/I was dazed, sin had me so afraid had my world up in a maze/Was ashamed and amazed/Was caught up in her gaze/Wasn’t I over this phase/Hadn’t Jesus broke the chains/(because it seems to remain here), that’s what my heart say/And this is more than some dark days or lessons I was getting/Man who can see the blessing am I messing?/No I am talking facts back to back what is in question/Is my soul though, and I know/Right now it is so cold, I’m at a low/I write don’t what I don’t show, as though these verses are my journal/I’m a solider simply trying to please the colonel and so to speak/I wipe my tears off my pastors sleeve/Like can anybody here see what I can see/I disappear if I could/Move back to the woods/But these lows never leave, how I pray that they would/
Verse 3:
(So I ask myself) Why are you downcast my soul, hope in the Lord/See Him hanging there on the pole for the filthiest thoughts/The most wicked of hearts, He died for you S know it/This is truth, objective how do you then blow/Repentance and faith, bear fruit man show it/Have that cross up in face endure and know Him/Be strong in the grace that’s found solely in Him/Satan will pray tricks by reminding you of your sin/But He died for them all, remember Calvary again/Never let it leave your brain/and things will never be the same/The Lamb of God was truly slain, rose up from the grave though/And justified in His name up the praise go!/Yeah, and that will never change/This that high up on the ride that I better crave/My help and my God who is centre stage/And His Spirit in I no better way/
