Ashes
Dont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a raft that's not sinking
maybe reach out to Venus
And feel it embrace me
I'm holding on hostage
On a raft that's not sinking
I should reach out to Venus
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Like the sun through the blinds
I'm transversing the northern star
Driving stakes through the ground
Counting steps between
Life passes quickly
I'm measuring the fanthomless
Diving towards all the water around me
I dive but I'd rather not go
I feel it
taking
breathing
Down on me
Drowning
Diving deeper
All the water
Around me
The planets
They must be
Let in as well
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Like sunlight through the blinds

@Gary Prebilsky lol really where??? Please Stop with the Doctrine of Devils...
1 Timothy 4:1-2
[1]Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
[2]Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron
Let's see what GOD said about Xmas thru the Prophet Jeremiah!!!
Jeremiah 10:1-4
[1]Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
[2]Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the HEATHEN, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
[3]For the customs of the people are VAIN: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
[4]They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
This is what Christ keep in the book of Matthew!! Meaning he obeyed the LAWS set fourth in the Book of Leviticus 23!!!!
Matthew 26:18
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the 》》PASSOVER 《《
at thy house with my disciples.
Repent and Live if the Laws where given to you! Psalm 147:19-20
So called Blacks Hispanics and Native Indians it's a bloodline thing!!!!

I’ve spent all of my life wondering why God chose me, why I was the outcast why I was the black sheep, why I always felt different from my family, from my friends even the two people that birthed me. Why God gave me so many gifts that he didn’t give my brothers and sisters. Why I had an anointing on me from the age of 5. Why I always had a relationship with God. I was counted out from a young age. Misunderstood abused mentally and emotionally. Abandoned, weakened, humiliated, used for my kindness, my generosity. Now I’m alone, isolated, lost my job, my boyfriend left me for someone who has more. In the midnight hour all I have is Jesus. The word of God strengthens me. I have so many ashes. God is using me for something greater. For something He put on the inside of me, before I was created. I give Him my all. Every tear every burden my joys and my pain. I lay it all out for Him. Amen 💙😇😇
