Flip The Script

By Amanda Gonzales and Erica Paul

I am a captive 

And I refuse to believe that

Freedom is real

I realize this may be a shock, but

“God is the one writing our story”

Is a lie -

Faking it till you make it?

That’s the equation for fullest life

surviving

Is more important than

Thriving

Who could even dare to claim

I have a God who cares about me

The only truth I know is this:

I am a lost cause

The biggest deception is that

I know my true identity 

Today and in the days ahead of me,

There’s only disappointment 

No longer can it be said that

Delight is our divine inheritance

It will be evident that

Scarcity is our only option

It is foolish to presume that

We can live a life of abundance through Christ 

That was the narrative the world wrote for me.

But Jesus met me at my darkest day,

and flipped the script.

We can live a life of abundance through Christ 

It is foolish to presume that

Scarcity is our only option

It will be evident that

Delight is our divine inheritance

No longer can it be said that

There’s only disappointment

Today and in the days ahead of me,

I know my true identity

The biggest deception is that

I am a lost cause

The only truth I know is this:

I have a God who cares about me

Who could even dare to claim otherwise?

Thriving

Is more important than

surviving

That’s the equation for fullest life

Faking it till you make it?

Is a lie -

God is the one writing our story

I realize this may be a shock, but

Freedom is real

And I refuse to believe that

I am a captive!
