Tame by Dayanah Ahmawanah (Faithfullwriter)

James 3:8 

 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

I’d be lying 

If I didn’t say 

Lately I’ve been crying 

And usually 

Those tears heal 

But these tears hurt

Because Im trying 

To keep my tongue 

But my tongue don’t listen 

I get myself 

In uncomfortable situations 

Sick of being misunderstood 

And misunderstanding 

I want peace 

They want silence 

Some say it’s the same 

But I am proof 

It isn’t , 

[Hook]

Take my tongue my Lord 

And tame it 

Take my mind my Ahayah

And control it 

But I’ll take this pen

And write them out 

My feelings, 

My prayers 

Praises

Worries 

let them pour out 

Like the tears out of me 

So I can be in peace 

Job 6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

I’m not a liar 

But I know some things 

Are better left unsaid 

Communication 

Sometimes what I say 

Sounds better in my head

I don’t try to offend 

But the enemy 

Sometimes knows me better than me 

Puts me in situations 

That trigger me 

It’s so easy to forget 

That The Most High 

Knows me better than Him 

And everything  that gets to me 

You saw it 

You approved it 

You thought I could do this 

Though I didn’t , 

Slipped again 

Time for repentance 

[Hook]

Take my tongue my Lord 

And tame it 

Take my mind my God 

And control it 

But I’ll take this pen

And write them out 

My feelings, 

My prayers 

Praises

Worries 

let them pour out 

Like the tears out of me 

So I can be in peace 

You thought I could endure 

This moment 

But I don’t see it 

The way out 

I don’t believe in me 

What you believe in me 

Right now 

I admit  it

But I also admit I want to see it 

And I know at the end of this 

I’ll submit 

When Im done emptying my chest 

So You can fill it 

I’d be lying 

If I didn’t say 

Lately I’ve been crying 

And usually 

Those tears heal 

But these tears hurt

Because Im trying 

To keep my tongue 

But my tongue don’t listen 

I get myself 

In uncomfortable situations 

Sick of being misunderstood 

And misunderstanding 

I want peace 

They want silence 

Some say it’s the same 

But I am proof 

It isn’t , 

I want peace 

They want silence 

They want peace 

And I’m silent 

But silence don’t bring me peace 

The Alahayam brings me peace 

Even if no one else speaks to me 

Ahayah 

Please never be silent 

With me 

Conversate with me on the daily 

Chastise me 

Comfort me 

Tame my tongue 

Break off the iniquity 

Knowing peace lies within

Not outside of me 

Let Your precepts be planted like a seed

Bringing forth righteous fruits 

That give me peace when I eat 

Help me to be humble 

To speak words that are peaceable 

Walking in the spirit 

……..

With no concern of my feelings at all 

Being Your mouth piece

And speaking  Your truth 

In this lying and dying world

2 Samuel 23:2

 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.

I’d be lying 

If I didn’t say 

Lately I’ve been crying 

And usually 

Those tears heal 

But these tears hurt

Because Im trying 

To keep my tongue 

But my tongue don’t listen 

I get myself 

In uncomfortable situations 

Sick of being misunderstood 

And misunderstanding 

I want peace 

They want silence 

Some say it’s the same 

But I am proof it isnt 

I want peace 

They want silence 

They want peace 

And I’m silent 

But silence don’t bring me peace 

Let me take on this temporary suffering

So I can have peace  for eternity 

Ahayah brings  me peace
