To God be all the glory.

My Dear Everything
Jeremiah Jonathan

This is all that I’ve got now.
I ain’t got nothing left.
This is all that I’ve got now.
I ain’t got nothing left.

Sweet Jesus.
Sweet Jesus.

God,
there is no alternative.
You are the one.
I can’t find superlatives.
God,
there is no alternative.
You cannot be described by superlatives.

You are all that I want.
You are all that I’ve got.
You always match my urgency.
You’re the ghostwriter of my lyrical sermons.
I be trapped inside reams,
wrestling fatigue.
My mother tell me 8 hours minimum for sleep.
But Father, I sacrifice that every 24.
When last I left the cave to play with Barbie dolls?
When last I left the cave to check the party pulse?
When last you see me tapping out by minutes to 3?
Pitch black into sunrise, filling the sheets.
I can’t resist the urge to be ducking a dream.
Recognition felt strange so I lay low.
Once upon a time,
I used to ask you for the fame,
oh God.
And I don’t wanna come across ungrateful,
God.
But I ain’t no God.
I’m yours.
I couldn’t handle people thinking I’m the source.
They started treating me
as if I were a king,
dear God.
That’s why recognition was relinquished,
God.
Now I’m a hermit in bliss.
The past year was my favourite gift.
Yeah.
What’s next on the script?
What more should I give?
I think it’s time to be back outside.
Transformation really fine-tuned the wings
of the butterfly.
Caterpillar ways officially died.
You gave me ample time to redirect the stride.
You gave me ample time to activate the lights.
Now it’s time for me to stop hiding shine.
I know you’re there with me regardless of the tide.
You’re the only witness of my deep thoughts,
and that’s awesome.
You’re the only one I don’t mind seeing them.
You know my thoughts before I think them.
You can read my thoughts,
you know my lingo.
Below the limbo.
You know my thoughts
below the limbo.
Yeah,
below the limbo.
You know my deepest thoughts
below the limbo.
You are all that I want.
You are all that I’ve got.
I try to match your urgency.
You’re the ghostwriter of my lyrical flushes.
It’s your cards I play,
God.
These ain’t my chips.
Please pull the strings of all my moves.
Sins loom.
Right now,
they don’t look as sweet as they used to.
I credit this view
to the Word that I’ve consumed.
I put a bullet
in the head of my celebrity
for you,
Father.
I’ve been refreshed,
reborn,
renewed,
rebooted,
retuned.
Let me see what your beacon can do.
Keep on triggering the strobes,
Father.
Yeah,
and let me know
what to do and what to say.
I know your voice,
God.
I hear your voice,
God.
You’re so talkative.
I feel your hand around my arm
when you walk with me.
With you,
I’ll never qualify for forfeiture.
Thanks for how much you’ve humbled me
to understand it’s bigger than me.
I know the love you have for others
is equal to me.
We put your son up on a cross here,
and got forgiven.
I threw away my crosses
for Bible logic.
I used to have the crucifix glued to my chain
until I felt funny bout Commandment 2.
Yeah.
But my sacrifices can never match up
to one that Christ made.
Let me know what sacrifices I must make
as we take it higher.
Let’s go.
Lift me to the next level,
Father.
Thanks for how much I’ve grown,
Father.
And I’ve got way further to grow.
Everything I ask for,
I receive it.
My heart is linked to your receiver,
God.
Speech is surface,
but you read my thoughts,
so you know what’s real when I seek more.
You know what I need beyond speech,
God.
You know what I need beyond speech.
You know what I need beyond speech.
Talk is talk.
Yeah.
I need my share.
Just my share.
Just my share,
God.
I need my share.
but I get my share
and it feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
I get everything
and more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
I get everything
and more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
I get everything
and more.
It always feels like more.
It always feels like more.
I get everything
and more!
