YOU STRIP DOWN

Stripped of his clothes but not of his courage

Stripped of his weapons but not of his will

Stripped of his provisions but not of his purpose

Stripped of his comforts but not of his composure

Stripped of his coat but not of his character

Stripped of his family but not of his future

Stripped of his position but not of his purity

Stripped of accomplishments but not of his attitude

John Colter…Jacob Joseph

Both had same issues and stories

Growing that beclouded the existence

And threaten their present to destroy the future

They really hope to have

The more I look at Joseph

The more he reminds of Jesus

Joseph and Jesus had a lot in common

Joseph was rejected by his brothers so was Jesus

Joseph was loved by his father so was Jesus

Joseph was victorious over temptation so was Jesus

Joseph was taken in custody because of false witness so was Jesus

Joseph suffered from doing what was right so did Jesus

Joseph was promoted from prison to rule the nation

Jesus was promoted from prison to death to rule the nations

So no matter the storms cloud that gather over your head

Today the sun is still shinning the breathe of life is in you

You might have gone through the mid life crisis in your life

And you feel that there is no hope for living again

As hope has been taken away from the street called hope

No matter what stripped you down

And stripped you off of whatever you have

You can still get up and still get going

No matter what you can come out of it all

Today you’re stripped down tomorrow you can race off to greatness
