Praise & Worship | Poetry in Conversation with Song ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Beforeword: This Poetry in Conversation with Song 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.

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, You are My Life, My Love, My All.

    1. Thanks Kymber. The first time I heard him I was in university and we went to a gospel concert. “Stomp” was new so we were hearing it for the first time. The concert hall was electric with praise. I fell in love with his style of music right there and then!!! The message in Lean on Me is incredibly powerful.
