Black Woman Cries A Message To God
by

Jacqueline Amos


The Lord is my guidance
I shall not fear,
He anointed me with love,
I walk with the torch, of God's light

Oh God, I come to you,
On bending knees,
I carry the scars on my back,
and the blood,
in the palms of my hand.

I sing of rebirth,
I know where my voice belongs,
My eyes are full of blood,
and my children no longer believe.

I mopped the halls, and scrub the stalls.
And took care masters babies, neglecting my own.
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Nobody knows, the trouble I have seen,
Somebody help me please, I wear the blood in the palms of my hands,
Lord you know, Oh God, you know, the trouble, I have seen.

I am the creation of your love.
He leads me to the waters
To clean my wounds,
Nobody knows the trouble I have seen.

Only You my God,
Thank you for bringing me across.
I sing no victim song,
I cry rebirth, my arms are getting short.
My hair is woolly and my back is strong.
I carried the chains much to long.

Yea though I walk,
Through the battle of no return,
I fear not man, but the spirits, which he displays.
God is the ruler of all and not man.
I wear the crown of Your love.

They hanged my sons,
From the trees,
My man no longer cries for me.
I his wife who wear his legacy.

Yea tho' I walk through the shadows of death
My Lord my lifeline makes me walk by myself.
I come to you Lord on bending knees
Break the chains of my family curse.
