If I do not preach the Gospel

Woe to me, deep in my spirit
anguished nights, crying, weeping
anger in struggle, when words are short
when other issues, trials
keep me from speaking

If I do not preach the Gospel
sharing God’s message
in the words he gives me
in the compelling of the Spirit
I am bereft, in pain, agony
needing to share
God’s blessings on me
