Raising Up A Child

 

Through their sacrifice,

we get to sample the sovereignty of the Lord 

 

That is

the spirit of a mother

 

I learned God's capabilities through

the characteristics of a mother 

 

The endless capacity of long suffer 

 

The fight and fervor 

The faith of affordability

while she’s applying for food stamps 

 

There’s a long line of sacrifice she should stood in  Just for you to be the recipients 

of Gods provision 

 

I witnessed her weary soul in the workforce

Two jobs, overtime

To then come home 

time and time again,

to put food on the table

 

She prays to the Lord who’s more than able 

To renew her strength 

 

Her love

will run the length of your life

Pointing you to Christ 

As she raises her right hand to Lord 

Like Boyyyyyy, you better get your act together 

 

I worked too hard for you to lose that scholarship

I prayed too hard for you to choose poison

over Gods promises 

 

The word promises

long life to those that honor this

Faithful Mother 

​

In other words 

There’s a blessing in her seed of labor 

 

The pain is just evidence

that what she breeds is greater 

 

And wasn’t it a MOTHER-

that carried the seed of our savior? 

 

Those that raise up a child in the way they should go 

Until high school graduations

and away they should go 

 

But just know 

These mothers don’t ever stop praying

They’re called to be intercessors 

 

They intercept the evil

and pray Gods mercy and protection over your body 

 

They’re the bodyguards of your salvation

 

Like Jesus,
they bear the scars of your salvation 

Thank God for Abraham

but these Queens

Are the mothers of the nation

 

And they deserve

congratulations 

 

For they are…

The Summation 

Of The Lord’s Patience!
