Perfection undeniable
Beauty unequaled
Love unending
Wisdom unerring
…. So is the Lord God
Seated on high
Stable in heaven
Saviour on earth
Signatory of all
….He is the Lord God
Great in Judgment
Mighty in battle
Fearful in praise
Unshaken in authority
…. His name is the Lord God
Creator of me
Protector of me
My own provider
Lover of my soul
…The Lord God is for me.
Peeping through the pearly gates,
Redemption seems to make sense to me
Eternity is worth it!
Captivating sights dazzled my pupils,
Inciting the desire to place God over my feelings and circumstances,
Upholding my faith and virtues against all odds, and sailing on the boat of obedience into His everlasting presence..
I’m walking through the narrow paths..God help me
As I lay on my bed and closed my eyes, I could see that there is something more than this earth..
Something more than the predictable routines of human life..
Something like lying on a bed of colourful flowers
Something like listening to the chirps of birds..
Something like being lost in a cool romantic breeze..
Something like riding on snow-white horses…
Something like flying without wings..being lifted carelessly by the wind..swaying from side to side like a pendulum..
Something like laughing loudly and heartily as you blow up water bubbles into the air and splash the ocean surface..
Something like dancing in a flowing white gown…as you lift it up and turn in circles..
Something like wearing a crown and striding up and down in the skies..
Something like no more tears and no more sorrows..
Something like a careless abandonment in supreme ecstasy..
There must be something like this…
The Holy book cannot lie..
Even as I view it behind closed eyes, the reality of it hugs me tightly…
I only caught half a glimpse of it
It is Heaven…and it is soon..
It is Heaven…and it is for those that accepts JESUS
Gradually and painfully the fearful yet critical moment had come!
Coldly staring at me was reality which seems to have collaborated with my erring identity.
I needed a direct change in d life I lived for so many years,
So as to get into a vivid range of blissful sanity.
But now, I am too old and lost in the iniquity that I lived. Continue reading
It burns in your throat because you think you don’t have it,
Then you spill it out in a rage.
Its not as if its true,
But you just say it anyways.
Your aim is not to lighten up the talk,
But to harm your supposed rival. Continue reading
Watch out comrades! I cried in a loud shrill,
Clinching in alarm as everything came to a still
Comrades catapulted into throes of battle,
Ready to settle a score with an enemy
But alas, into d garland of fools we marched
And no one was found in sight.
Like a bad dream, day diffused into a terrific night.
Weapons clashed, glittering tears as we soared in a castle of fear.

Dear God
It’s me your once again lost son
I know you’ve saved me one too many times
But i just happen to see myself falling at the back of the line
Riding down the road of destruction again and again
I know I should praise you first
But how mighty great and awesome you are
Though true do not mean so much to me
It’s not the wonders or miracles but
It’s your love that amazes me so
It transcends human thought
Defiling the most solid of theorems
Ever enduring never changing
I disappoint you but you love me still
I left you but you never left me
I come pleading for mercy
I tried not to do it but i did
Now i know it’s only you that can help not me
I just want your mercy so I can start again
With you, relying on you
I could go on asking but
There’s a friend who needs you he’s lost
Just like me only worse
Could you please save him?
Just the way you did me
Above all Father, I request
All those who love me you bless
Those who dared to care you protect
And all those who’ll cling to the cross
Standing true to the end, you never reject.
Before I go I wanna say thanks
For listening when I needed a friend
For the comfort for never giving up on me
And for answering my prayer to every last detail
In Jesus name, Amen.
