Analysis of Praise Transforms, oh yeah.
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Something happened on that floor.
Beat and expectation.
Yearning to sing.
Oh, but I’m not a Singer.
Yeah, so what, Girl?
Let it out.
In this place we get it.
Agree with it.
Give copious thanks.
The plan for release
Of discontent, guilt.
Replaced by gratitude.
Stomping feet and
Let’s stop the chat now.
Just sing, OK?
(Now take a walk over to Psalm 63)
