Secondary Numbing Number One

Had I delved deep into The Word I would have heard, It wasn't from beyond the cloud My first winnings were as large as the devil's lure I wrote the slips; swiped my Visa sure as true grit Now I know for sure, God was not in it. I've been playing numbers that Played against the enemy that was me Winnings coming out of no where held me in suspense I was washed in sea of nonsense. Then came the blues It knocked me to my knees It drenched me to tears It caused my heart to fear, until I felt the power and warmth of answered prayers. Now, I am free! I feel it in my being I feel it in my bones and marrow I feel it inside sinews of my soul, Yes, I am free!! My riches flowed from beyond the clouds When I was a child, my grandmother fed us from her winnings My winnings surpassed the look of blank slips, because I am free as a bird facing new victory Free, free, free! *
