Beforeword: This poetry-music collab is inspired by renowned gospel artist, Kirk Franklin, who is known for blending gospel music with contemporary sounds. Here’s to some of his most popular foot-tapping-body-moving-hands-lifted-high songs using the literary technique: parataxis.

Imagine me igniting a Revolution as I Stomp my way to Brighter Days where I can’t help but Smile ‘cause “…even when I hurt, see” I Smile for I made it through The Storm [and it] is Over Now and I got me a Blessing in the Storm that makes me Wanna Be Happy and sing all kinds of Hosanna praises like Melodies from Heaven rolling off my tongue and I bow prostrate proclaiming: “Now Behold the Lamb” for there’s Something About the Name Jesus, that name is the reason Why [I] Sing—it’s my Love Theory—and that makes me wanna Stomp all over again starting another Hosanna praise dance to the assurance that He Reigns, this Awesome God who tells me I Can and I dance the more in praises till I’m so high, so close to my DaddyGod I can hear Him whisper: “Lean on Me” and so Before I Die this is my Declaration: You, God, are My Life, My Love, My All
