Second Name

I got a second name

I don't know if you heard

it came available for me to get when the Word became flesh

and turned

the whole world around

a world caught in a dimension, 1

expanded into 3D through the Father, Spirit and Son

3D now I see the earth and every person

in a whole new light

cuz I been given a whole new life

with my

second name

dripping in His fame

I don't even exist anymore

praise GOD I don't exist anymore

I'm claimed

sealed off to be part of this

3D world of reversal

tables turned

the poor called the richest

and the least the greatest

the fools that think themselves wisest

lying on the bottom of the VIP list

sinners sitting at the table of God

sipping fine wine

dining on food not just for their bodies but their souls

sinners like me given second names

for a second chance to stand and change

be changed

be in awe of the ways

their lives play out

when our lives like cracked concrete broken

drink and soak in the rain

we see roses that growses up beneath our toses

a fragrance so smooth reaching up to our noses

supposes that there's definitely more to me

than cracked open broken concrete

No, I'm those roses budding and flowering

opening my soul to those bees

which then pollinate the trees

spreading seeds back to the earth

growing more Beauty through concrete

appeasing a Beautiful God

making Beautiful from flawed

yes, that's the world I belong to

and so do you

we're all meant to have second names

second chances to stand and change

a man named Bitter

renamed Sweet

a woman named Abandoned

renamed Reclaimed

and me?

A girl named Elise

a.k.a. Needing Approval From People Instead of God

renamed Standing on Her Own Two Feet Upon the Rock of Her King

I got a second name

I don't know if you heard

Word became flesh and turned

this mess around

with songs sounding freedom like trumpets

grace like rain

I know now, pain and refining

the tears that I was crying

were not in vain

cuz I got my second name
