Child of the King

Some people told me bout the Word but it didn’t sink in

Warn, weary, and sad so I came to Him

Now I’m forgiven everytime I repent

Can’t thank You enough for the Son that You sent

So glad that I came, I will never be the same, all praises and glory, forever I will bring

So if you haven’t done it yet, do it tonight

Cause my God is the way, the truth, and the light

I have said that rap a thousand and one times since the embarassment occurred in 1995. That night, it just sounded like “watermelon, watermelon” when it was my turn to rap my original lyrics to, “I came to Jesus”.

This wasn’t the first time I was embarassed on that church stage though. There was the time I went up to serenade the congregations with the smooth sounds of Donnie McClurkin’s “I’ve got my mind made up” when the band stopped playing in the middle of my solo to tell me I was off key.

This and that was all it took for me to never sing in public again.

I wish this blog could take a more positive turn and talk about how I healed, but this led to me never being confident enough to join chorus in middle school and give up on my dreams to be a singer.

Let this be a notice to you to encourage these kids to sing. You, sing.

You are a child of the King! Sing to an audience of One and never let anyone silence your voice.
