Influencer

 Lord

What have

We come to

We don’t talk

We don’t speak 

We don’t disagree 

For fear 

Of reprisal 

I wasn’t 

Made for this 

Following You

Is hard

But it’s 

The only 

Thing in

My life 

That makes sense

Friends have 

Called me

An influencer

And right now

That label feels 

Uncomfortable 

I’m not plugging 

Popular culture 

I just want 

To glorify You

And pray 

That humanity 

Returns 

To decency 


I’m glad 

You have me

This world 

Has me clutching 

The cross

Hoping against hope 

For a return 

To a world 

Where common sense

Needn’t be

Explained

Or justified

  4. That word is just another "fad" that is going around in society. I'm so glad that you know the importance of sharing the word of God, and not listening to all the noise. When you said, "I’m not plugging popular culture I just want to Glorify You"....that says it all. Thank you for being you. Have a blessed Monday and October week.

  5. I do feel a little like being tempted, but like our Pastor says, we are to follow Jesus, not man and his will.

  6. It does seem like people have lost common sense, and like you, I long for a society that exhibits decency and care for each other.
