II
Our Lady Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The cars press the pavement As I'm pressing into
myself
But the guilt weighs like stones Holding my hands
down
I've been dying
To lose something else from all these ways
I've been trying to pressure the wave to spill onto
my legs
And there was nothing I could do
I just don't know how to clean all this red
Will you look through my body and see how
scared I am of how much one man
can do
I can't just let this die
Sometimes I think I need it more than anyone
Weighs like the pressure of a wave
I've been making two
And there was nothing I could do
I don't burn for anyone
There's no kindling for this fire
I can't just let this die




Sometimes I think I need it more than anyone And
there was nothing i could do

I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!

Isaiah 45:3 speaks of a transference of riches from the heathen to the righteous... I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret... I receive this for my household in Jesus' name. Amen!
