IDALTA by IDALTA

I promised myself to do this once I reached Global Trending.

This is probably the most personal I'm getting on this platform.

This is what IDALTA means.

This is my story.

To God be all the glory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The name is-
Well, it's actually about time I explain

Just a kid, pretty new on the Earth
Was only here a small time since birth
Wish it was clearer, glad it isn't
No real memory, but I still got good vision
Parental figure gone, someone else came to visit
To watch the little guy, still don't know what that kid did
But how the watcher responded was more than an incident
When the lifeflight left he'd have to admit that he did it

The doctors were quick, but God was quicker
The tragedy was big, but the purpose was bigger
Looking back on the past gives me a lot to consider
Was all of this really just for me to be delivered?

One moment in a bed I just lied there and bled
Another in a bed I just lied there and slept
Circumstances define but again and again
Above all else if it's God's plan He'll protect

If it didn't happen I don't know where I'd be
I get a reminder when I look down at the seams
Of how blessed I am, I thank God that I'm free
When coincidence aligns it might be more than it seems

I'm taking off the mask, this needs to be heard
There's not a person on this Earth who hasn't been hurt
Trauma invades and tears surely fall
It's been that way since The Fall, but God's above all

My past is not perfect if you want proof I've got scars
But if you look at God's heart, it's been there since the start
The world is broken, infested by death
Believe me when I say it's a blessing to have breath!
You are not your past and your past is not you
If you just look at me you can tell I'm telling the truth! (Please!)
You are not your past and your past is not you
If you just look at me you can tell I'm telling the truth! (Please!)

Fast forward a few years, I grew weary of water
Was still a little kid, but didn't see the danger, didn't bother
If I was ever going down, I remembered to holler
What happened that night gave me a lot to ponder

Mom was over there, dad was in the corner
Night wanted its share, and it started to get colder
I began not to care, that kid got bolder
As I was gasping for air, someone felt a tap on their shoulder

I don't know why, I got a little frantic
I jumped in unprepared, and started to panic
Lungs filled with water, it all faded to static
It's weird looking back, I didn't even know what happened

My breathing stopped.

My heartbeat stopped.

I was at the bottom.

Dead.

That's not what I saw though, I didn't know I died
What I thought happened I didn't see with my own eyes
When I finally came back, I saw a lot of lights
I was confused, perhaps, I didn't know people cried

I'm taking off the mask, this needs to be heard
There's not a person on this Earth who hasn't been hurt
Trauma invades and tears surely fall
It's been that way since The Fall, but God's above all

My past is not-not perfect if you want proof I've got scars
But if you look at God's heart, it's been there since the start
The world is broken, infested by death
Believe me when I say it's a blessing to have breath!
You are not your past and your past is not you
If you just look at me you can tell I'm telling the truth! (Please!)
You are not your past and your past is not you
If you just look at me you can tell I'm telling the truth! (Please!)

It's nothing short of a miracle that I'm still here
Since everything that's happened, it's become crystal clear
God still wants me, whether I know why or not
My time is still ticking cause God reset the clock

I died once, and I live because God wants me to
If you're still here, it's cause God also wants you
You've got purpose if you're still breathing
You wouldn't be here if you didn't have meaning

I'm living proof of that, you can be sure
Galatians 2:20 is a powerful verse
When you get saved you die to yourself, and it's Christ who lives in you
So that makes it not one, but two

I've met death, not once, not twice, but three times in a row
And now that that's out of the way, I can finally say:

I
Died
A
Long
Time
Ago
