No One Smiles

By Angelo Head

No one smiles.
No one says a word.
They just act like nothing happened.
Like no one’s talking about the Lord.

He tries to share his love
Tries to get them to see.
That He’s always there, and wants the best…
From the bonds of slavery He’s set us free.

The world’s different beyond those doors
A truth he’s accepted… a truth he surely knows.
The fifth period bell’s rung
Not a single look of fear does his face show.

Though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death.
You are with me, I shall not fear
For you are my strength… you are my help.

His books fall and papers fly,
Shoved to the ground, he dare not speak.
No one bothers to help
Because he’s a Christian, he’s a Jesus freak.

Let every thought I think… every word I say
Be of glory to your name.
Give me the strength and courage to do what’s right
That whoever you desire… that their life may change.

A voice tells him he’s weak
It tells him he’s wasting his time.
“Your pathetic… no one even hears you
Save your pity… without you, the world is just fine.”

I surrender to your will
My life is yours to control
Walk with me when no one else will
When I’m broken make me again whole.

Things began to tempt him
Music, depression and pornography.
He cries out for mercy, he cries out for peace
Hands lifted, eyes closed, and on his knees.

Thank you for yesterday.
Thank you for another day today
Let all that I do be of testimony of your faithfulness,
Through all that I do and through all that I say.

He thanks GOD for his grace
And ask that today someone will see the light.
That at least one person will accept Him unto their life
Even if everyone else doesn’t treat him right.

God, thank you for sending your Son
To set me free and to die for my sins
I love you and thank you for loving me…
You are the one and only true God… Amen.
