Analysis of Surplus of prosperity!!
We were born into this world screaming out our lungs.
Learning to understand words we speak with our tongues.
And then there came a time when we searched for that peace.
Blessings came from God a surplus of prosperity!
In this surplus we never thought we needed.
That at the time of birth God had already completed.
And as we got to know his nature we found out the truth.
That in His grace and mercy we found a surplus too!
I've had some hard times but there has never been a doubt.
That when I fell to the ground my surplus brought me out.
Still seeking the goodness of my Father I always kneel and pray.
Thanking Him for the blessings that continually comes my way!
Doctors said I wouldn't make it, but all that has been made a lie.
Here I am writing to you of the surplus that wouldn't let me die.
Prosperity He gave me and wisdom like a fresh breath of air.
Trusting always in Him knowing, my surplus shows He care!
