Anacostia River

I looked into the river as if to say take it,
I cant work another day out of it.
That was my expression for those days wasn’t it?
Felt like my whole world was caving in on its self didn’t it?
Thinking why Lord how can this be?
Praying my Lord have mercy on me.
Let me jump in this river and that be it.
The end of me.

And then this lady she turned to me
If you were thinking of jumping I wouldn’t do it
Cause if you do you’ll need saving and I wont be the one to do it
But if you wanna jump I’ll leave you to it
I just wanted you to know not to test me

And then I realized the words of God
Do not test the Lord your God
Its weird to have your life saved by a stranger
I really didn’t know if I should thank her
For reminding me God wont like me to put my life in danger
I was not here to throw myself in the Anocostia River
But to throw my life in the hands of God for him to deliver
