I Want It All Back

[Cythia Jones]

You may have thought~you won that last round~You may have laughed (cuz) I almost fell down~Maybe you think I give up easy~But its not ovah~I got more in me~You thought I stopped~ you thought I sat down~But I am standin'~you made me mad now!~You got some things~I think you owe me~I've come to get back everything that you stole~I want it all back~You hit me hard~I should be knocked out~Things I've been through~don't even wanna talk about~You crossed the line (this time) you violated me~I want revenge (I want everything back from) A to Z~The battle’s not mine~the battle is the Lord’s~In the name of JESUS~I'm takin’ it by force~I want it all back~If you only knew what I was gonna be; After the storm you wouldn't have even bothered me~(And now I’m) stronger~(And I got more) power~(I’m a little bit) wiser~(And I got more) strength~(I got thee) anointing~(Got God’s) favor~(And we’re still) standing~I want it all back~Give me my stuff back!~give me my stuff!~give me my stuff back~I want it all~I want that~What about your family and all your self-esteem~even your destiny?~What about the joy you tasted and the time you wasted~do you want it back?~What about your place in God and all your faith in God~even the ways of God?~What about your hopes and dreams and your communities~even your kids and teens?~I want it all back!¹ Tribbett, Tye -allgospellyrics.com

When I heard this song I was like YEAH! I WANT IT BACK. I played this song expecting the same enthusiasm from the others around me when I played it in a group of people to my surprise they could not get to the message of the song because of the beat of the song. I understand that fully, Let me say that again, I understand that fully. I asked God how can I get the message out. I prayed for understanding and He ask me how many messages have I heard but because of the attitude of the person, the way the person carried themself, the way they talk, I could not get to the message or even tried to get to know the real person because of the things mentioned above. How many messages have we in all sincerity we wanted to relay but because of our actions, the way we talk, walk, our attitudes, could not be received. I know this is the month of Thanks giving and if God does not do another thing for us, we have so much to be thankful for. We sing this song "I went to the enemies camp and I took back what he stole from me" how thankful and appreciative could you be when we get our family, our self esteem, (I know everyone does not battle the same things, but there are a lot of women that does, you can tell this by their actions, the way they carry themself and how easy it is for the to give themself just for a minute of pleasure.) we can get our place in God back, our destiny, our joy, the time we wasted, our hopes and dreams, communities, even our kids and teens, I WANT IT ALL BACK. Ladies the enemy is trespassing on what is ours, what are we going to do about it? In Eph. 6, it tells us to clothe ourselves in armor, as we pursue, overtake and recover all we must remember 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (KJV) 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; Psalm 118:13 tells us God is with us. Like the poem that was read in our October W.O.W. meeting, Rise woman of God and take your position. Stand with confidence and be Strong, Fulfill your destiny and those we stand in the gap for will be able to fulfill their destiny also. 1 Samuel 30:8 "And David inquired of the Lord, saying Shall I pursue? Shall I overtake them? The Lord answered him, Pursue, for your shall surely overtake them and with our fail recover all. Praise God, Ladies let this be said of us, He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Romans 4:20,21 God watches over His word to perform it.
