Coming out of Mourning

Poem:

Not
who
what
why
where
or when

not just us,
but them

he forgives,
not only for the given
but to the offered and for the refused

preserving integrity
in the sea of the perused and used

more than the verb
but the core of the word
splintered adjectives and nouns
stand still
as he moves

Chorus:
Lovely as a ray of sun,
that touches me when the
mourning comes
and it feels good
Lord you're so good

Beautiful as the bright blue sea
the way your love washes over me
and it feels good
Lord you're so good

It feels good
And it feels good
Lord you're so good

Verse One:

It feels good
Not the kind of feeling you get
when you got money in your hand
(Spoken: Like payday?)

It feels good
Not the kind of good you feel when
you're chillin' with your man
(Spoken:Uhh oh, now)

It feels good
Not the kind of feeling you get
when you got your nails and hair did
and you know you're looking fine
(Spoken: Well, you know how we do. I was looking good..)

It feels good
The kind of feeling that's soul appealing
When He says the battle's not yours, it's mine
Holy and divine!
(Spoken: Hey!)

Chorus:
Lovely as a ray of sun,
that touches me when the
mourning comes
and it feels good.

It feels good

Beautiful as the bright blue sea
the way it washes over me
Lord you're so good

It feels good
Not the kind of feeling you get
when you've been promoted on the job
(Spoken: Partner! Yeah, that could be good.)

It feels good
not the feeling you get
when your dreams are taking off
Spoken: You mean like this?)

It feels good
not the kind of feeling
you get when you see your child born
Spoken: She was so beautiful.)

It feels good
The feeling that you get
when you look back
and know who led you through your storm--
so you don't have to mourn!
(Spoken: Yes!)


Poem
in his absence
they mourn his rays
calling the world to wake

his hands bear the hate
her eyes believe the hope
and his seasons never fail

he washes the face
of fear
counter
clockwise
still knowing it has a time

the act
the stage
the soul of the star

in his true form, omnipresent

the sister to hope
the mother of faith
only as happy
as His saddest child

Verse Two:

Cause Lord you will be there
when the money's gone
when the dj plays the last song
when the man has packed his bags and gone
or through this life, passes on
you will be there when beauty fades
when I have no more tears to cry
Just like the little sparrow
I'm always in your eyes


Chorus:
Lovely as a ray of sun,
that touches me when the
mourning comes
and it feels good
Yes it feels good

Beautiful as the bright blue sea
the way the love washes over me
and it feels good
It feels good

It feels good
And it feels good
Lord you're so good

It feels good, good, good, good,
good, good, good,
good, good, good, good,
